poem--untitled

thinking that i like being vulnerable
i invited you in
foreign
you disturbed the still waters
within me
and the ripples bruised me from the inside out bruised me
as my body took a long time
to become used to the intruder
and now you live in me.
more each day, and the distance
doesn't untangle you from
what is in me

stay a while, i say
for this has become normal to be a part of me
for once you were vulnerable, and invited me in
and we were the same

and more and more i inch closer to your origin, and the more I know
the more
your care unravels me and

your fear begins me
