Loving After Trauma - Poem

You're a wholesome person to be around

We're building a connection

A path to something yet to be defined in future

Or it could be just friends after all

I really don't know

But I'm okay with it

I don't know if I can date you

After the trauma of the last

Unsure of how to read my nervous system

Is it a trauma response or something I truly feel?

It's a convoluted mess

The signals and responses from within

Lack of differentiation

Fear realm or reality of situation

Nuanced professional help is required

Before proceeding to next level of any kind

I don't want my trauma to date you

I want to date you
