Facing Intimacy

Intimacy is like learning how to ride a bike. You fall,
But then you get up and try again. You hit the wall
When you are afraid and terrified of being in that
Intimacy all alone. You are always afraid to go splat
Against the sidewalk when no one is there to share
That with you. When you show yourself and care
Too much, that is always when you hurt the most.
You are terrified that people will constantly ghost
On you and disappear. You are constantly afraid
To be in these feelings and emotions that cascade
On you, while feeling lonely. You have nobody
To curl up to when you have these fears at three
In the morning when you cannot go back to sleep.
You know when you find them because they keep
You close by when you finally face your fears
Head on. They will always wipe away the tears.
