Short

Pure chemistry

Our bodies entwined

Our lust explodes

We shield our emotions

Only display pure attraction

Not hearts involved

Pure pink matter

Feelings stay absolute

Like pure unadulterated vodka

We drink to passion

On the rocks

 

Once in a while we imagine it might be more

But we are too comfortable in our current states

Don’t want to disrupt the tide

Steady motions

Ignore the nagging voices

The ones that tells us we are worth more than just our physical selves

Thinking about that makes things complex

We start to ask for more

To want more

But we fear that we might be let down

Our belief in our own inadequacies  keeps us lagging behind

We lose to our own insecurity

Covered with doubts of who we truly are

So we stick to lust

It is easy

Doesn’t ask for much

Shields us from pain

Hurt

Rejection

 

Happy with just being okay

Well maybe not happy

But somewhat content

A contentment that is fueled by mistrusting our own abilities

They say we sell ourselves short

But what if we don’t even really know what we are worth

To sell ourselves short

We must have some previous knowledge of where we stand

If we lack that

Then we are just selling ourselves at the price of our assumed self-worth

And if we never know our true value

We are never hurt

Are we?.....
