Outdistance

Me you never knew
or understood
not a single moment
and I never knew you
we are strangers
who have touched
I feared most
the similarities we shared
I was broken already
but you left me soiled
and ruined
unfit for anyone
afraid of my own
bad taste
the men I have chosen
and the passions
I keep buried deep inside
raw with hunger
and guilt
trying to outdistance
myself...
