E nds all touching with near panicked haste
R elief spreads profoundly across her face
O nce more she has eluded another's caress
T hat causes such disturbance she dare not confess
O ver time she has developed protective measures
P rotecting herself from the pains and pleasures
H aving a romantic relationship would ensure
O nly be being alone can she feel secure
B ut once left to be on her own
I n her wished-for solitude, she feels so alone...
A ll she wants is to feel safe...

I fear love also, in many ways... though not in the sense of sexual relations, I'm fine with that now although I used to be and I am afraid of men in general, but afraid of getting hurt again because I know it'll happen it always does with me and I just want to protect myself too, very relatable write.

Very imaginative! I had never heard of that affliction before but you managed to teach and entertain at the same time.
Very well done

Great work here. I loved the ryhme and flow and how none of it seemed forced. Many accrostics seem to be forced and dull but this one was outstanding. I felt the fear and could understand. My favorite line would porbably be: O ver time she has developed protective measures
...that was great! However the ending seemed a bit dull to me. I dont feel like I can really give you a better option but I think you could figure one out. Overall, great work!!
