Escape

sensual touches
sate a need that aids depressed
hearts seeking passion
patches to cover twin aches
worn as scars from rejection

escape needs fulfilled
covers hold two stories told ~
desperate duet

The way you've woven together words to convey the complexities of human emotions is truly captivating. The phrase 'desperate duet' resonates deeply, highlighting the intense yearning for connection and understanding. Your writing has a way of touching the heart, and I appreciate the raw honesty you've shared through your words. Best, Anne Login to Reply CayCay Jennings Date: 8/2/2025 2:54:00 PM I revised a lot of this, pressed 'update post' and there your complimentary comments were. So, I'm not sure exactly which version you commented on, but I didn't totally care for my 1st post and tweaked, tweaked and repeated. Either way, either version, you are beyond sweet to me. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
