like a premmie,
too fragile and delicate
who cannot be overstimulated,
i feel so exhausted.
i haven't been with another being for so long,
i suffered extreme tiredness and physical lethargy for good 24 hours afterwards.
and a sense of emptiness -
initially mild sense of guilt and shame,
followed by a sense of regret
that i had revealed too much of myself,
given away too many secrets too soon,
allowed them too much access to my body and my mind,
i had to stay away.
