Places Alone

My body has so many lonely places.
I can not fill them with the words I read or write.
I can not make it dance to love songs.
It is a lonely barron place.

My breast need to be cupped
by something other than a Victoria's Secert
2 bra's for $9.99 special.

When was the last time my bare shoulders
inticed someone into wanting?
For that matter when was the last time
I bared anthing other than my soul?

Tears may be the only thing
that will ever again
trace the lines upon my face.
