I am a woman who has felt deeply

I have searched for meaning

In the empty corners of reality.

Is there a secret to knowing the correct words to say

If I spoke to different people

asking to show me the way

To experience love,

A deep connection we all seek to have

Having not found what hinders my desperation

of knowing how to hold another human .

I am not able to open my heart bare

exposing my nakedness, laid out

vulnerable and scared

I fear I will seek forever to know your first name
