Intimacy

I let no one too close,

keeping them at a distance.

 

I made sure to leave people 

before they left me.

 

Living at home 

kept me honest.

 

But once I was on my own 

I invited every man in.

 

Anyone who wanted to appreciate 

my body came into my home.

 

But I was looking 

for a deeper connection.

 

I wanted intimacy 

in more than the bedroom.
