Tied Up Around My Heart Poem by Louise Tredoux

After a night spent crying I feel like dying,
I scared my loved one away through my
childishness, where can I attend classes
on being human and loving and natural,
touching and stroking and going all the
way? I'll run away from home, find a
bohemian community, let them teach
me all there is to know about sexuality;
I'll run away to Japan and join a geisha
school, let them teach me how to pleasure
a man, then I'll return as your lover and
this time show you how much I care!
Failing that, I'll start reading books,
watching videos - oh what's the use,
I've been messed up from the start,
I might as well give up and die tied
up around my heart!
