I catch my breath; snuggling closer
And yet still unable to feel you
Our bodies move together; clothes cast aside
And yet worry consumes me
My tears are caught in your arms
And yet I still feel distant

My hunger for your love pushes me further
A trapped animal; isolated by the bars I have created
How does one tear down this wall
between us that never existed?
Fluttering panic I cling to you
Hoping to feel some ounce of worth
But walls are cold; and cannot warm my skin
Defeated I pull away and collapse onto myself
Until I allow the pain of feeling back in
Or more often; slap a mask back on and walk out
