come undone
dull ache so very bitter
insulted need painful to touch
I don't want to need
it hurts this greed
inside me bleed
reaching out for your touch
you come into view then pull away
and I burn in the empty air between us
electrically charged desire
so perilous is our love
it is warned come no further
still I'm bidden into your arms
deeply dark with sharp edges
I throw myself on the blade to hold you
my cult visions of you
promises me someone who knows me
and is captivated still
I stir in the cold of your stare
daring me closer
I come, falling apart in your gravity
I crawl to the shadows
where I collect myself and begin again
it's taken this long
it has I know,
to get close to me

I can understand the need for good boundaries.
I do.
I can understand needing to test the commitment of those who would enter into our lives. Truly.
We never can ultimately absolutely others, and there is always a point of accepting our vulnerability by letting others into our personal space.
Some people create an infinite number of firewalls, and that wears people down until finally there is that moment where people give up.
There is a balance. Humans are messy. And there comes a time.
This is a very important subject. Working through it is one of the most important arenas of modern life.

hello dearest RT I think sometimes we have those firewalls up and you're right we push people away and sometimes both people have those boundaries and it is impossible to get past them but the love or need of that person is there none the less... we don't choose who are heart is affectionate to but we can choose who we open up to thank you for the very thoughtful comment ❤️

"and is captivated still" feels like this has been a long lasting relationship, which takes more work and yet we can be amazed at how one can still be captivated after all that time. I liked that, it's subtle, devoted and admirable.
Nicely done.
