we no longer achieve intimacy by peeling off our skin like the band aid that will sting as it is torn away. intimacy is the art of feeling like a monument torn apart, hoping no one will tear you down to create a better you. i have become depressed- repressing all the love i have to give if only i could shed my shadows and remember we are only flesh. i don’t remember how to be intimate.

intimacy is the art of licking wounds
we no longer achieve intimacy by peeling off our skin like the band aid that will sting as it is torn away. intimacy is the art of feeling like a monument torn apart, hoping no one will tear you down to create a better you. i have become depressed- repressing all the love i have to give if only i could shed my shadows and remember we are only flesh. i don’t remember how to be intimate.
