~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You made me feel.. for the first time... In my life.. You made my body feel alive.. . That is all it ever was.. Remember the cost No love. No Loss You turned on sensations.. I didn't know I had.. Reached apart of me.. Somehow went beyond.. Where no man could ever go... Until you.. Then I knew.. What I had to do.. That is all it ever was... It scared me.. The way you made me feel.. I had to turn it off.. I can at will.. I could see in your eyes.. You did the same We are thinking This must be stopped.. Not wanting to be caught.. So we remember to shut off.. Turn off emotions.. Turn off sensations.. Turn our mind.. inside.. Remember the cost No Love. No Loss

This is the anthem of the abused. I can no longer trust, so I will not feel. I will not feel so I can not be hurt. You have expressed it so well and clearly.
