Others have left wonderfully descriptive comments. After I read something as powerful as this, I have so many feelings and gratitude but not many words to share. So I’ll just say this:

Fucking beautiful 💜

What moved me most in this piece is how it weaves caregiving and intimacy together — where tending a wound becomes an act of love. There is eroticism born from survival, the body treated as sacred text, grief nearly averted, feminine devotion held beside feminine power, and masculine vulnerability offered without defense. It feels primal, tender, and deeply human.

I love how you blended the caregiver and intimacy themes. It's clear you know how to create tension gradually without rushing the process.

This poem carries a quiet power. I admire how you capture both the struggle and the dignity within it. The imagery lingers, and there’s a real sense of courage in your words. Thank you for sharing this piece.

Thank you so much, lovely!! I appreciate your reading and connecting with it. To know words did not do the comment justice, is the absolute greatest gift!
