Sleeping with someone who lacks genuine care can wound the tender soul,
What begins as a fleeting comfort may soon feel heavy, leaving a hollow role.
The night fades, but echoes remain, stirring doubts that refuse to sleep,
A quiet storm of regret awakens, in spaces where the heart runs deep.
It is not the act alone that leaves scars, but what the silence brings to light,
Unmet needs, hidden insecurities, and shadows we hoped would stay out of sight.
To be close to one who values not the gift of our spirit or trust,
Leaves us with emptiness, like ashes where once there was fire and dust.
Even the briefest encounter can bind the heart in invisible chains,
A spark mistaken for warmth can linger, leaving longing that still remains.
We wrestle with memories that whisper of something deeper, yet false,
A dance of intimacy mistaken for meaning, though fragile as glass.
When intimacy is shared without honesty, it often breeds disarray,
For one may see devotion, while the other only sought the play.
Expectations collide like tides that clash upon rocky shores,
Leaving behind confusion, rejection, and wounds that the heart implores.
And if the person is bound to another, betrayal deepens the wound,
Shattering trust, unraveling bonds where once loyalty was assumed.
Ripples of pain spread outward, touching partners, friends, and kin,
An act meant private in passion becomes a fracture that spreads within.
Even when no third party is wronged, the dangers remain quite clear,
For gossip may twist the truth, and judgment may soon appear.
Misunderstandings cast shadows that darken self-worth and pride,
While fragile confidence falters, and faith in connection may hide.
The lesson is not to fear closeness, nor to harden the heart with stone,
But to choose with wisdom and care the company we call our own.
When respect, intention, and clarity guide the path that lovers tread,
The embrace becomes a shelter, not a battlefield of dread.
Mindful choices honor the spirit, preserving both peace and grace,
Turning encounters into growth, not memories we wish to erase.
For intimacy should nurture, not unravel the mind or soul,
But lift us toward balance, helping to make the broken whole.
So guard your heart with kindness, and let wisdom light your way,
Choose only those who honor your worth and see your spirit each day.
For in intimacy chosen with care, love’s beauty can truly thrive,
And the soul, instead of breaking, will grow stronger and alive.
