Notes About The Poem

Scary

I was afraid of losing myself in you.

I was afraid there would not be enough time

To touch all the places that are you

I was afraid you would be afraid of me

My look, my touch 

Penetrating so deeply into you

Wanting to wear you like skin

Absorb you into me

Like the evaporation of time

Silent, but unyielding
