Shame

Hot on the heels of need A feeling like no other A crawling, spreading sensation Insides leaking out Too painful to show Too needy Too sticky Repulsive and ugly Overwhelming urge to hide Curl up; defend with rejection Soothe with avoidance The bliss, however temporary, of numbness Until Need is awoken again
