my feelings numb
a defense mechanism
for grief
the unbearable emotion
I feared intimacy
because of rejection
I feared trying again
because of the unknown
I wasn’t ready
and I didn’t even
know it
don’t let history
bleed into the present
the ghosts of the past
running from the past
away from the present
