Intimacy anorexia

Intimacy anorexia, a disease of the heart,
A fear of love, a fear of being apart.
A mind consumed by thoughts of self-protection,
A soul closed off, in need of affection.

A longing for closeness, yet pushing away,
A dance of fear and desire, every single day.
A heart that's hungry, yet refuses to feed,
A love that's dying, yet in desperate need.

Intimacy anorexia, a disease of the mind,
A fear of vulnerability, of being left behind.
A heart that's closed, a love that's locked away,
A need for healing, to learn to love and to stay.

But with hope and with time, and with support and care,
The heart can open, the love can be repaired.
Intimacy anorexia, a disease to be conquered,
With the strength and the courage, to be truly honest.
