Flawed Intimacy

We’re ashamed of the scars shown on our souls,  
The transgressions of our lives are disclosed. 
A craving for a piece of self-control;
concealment to hide the lies that we told.  

We're frightened by the possibility, 
of a stranger lying down beside me. 
Passionate affection keeps us entwined.
A lasting love, so perfectly divine. 
Yet, tragically condemned at the same time.
