I have never felt so bare.
Not to another, not even to my mirror.
Everything is stripped away, my bones, my skin;
All my flaws, my traits, my shine--
Are on the top of the surface like sea foam
As you wade through it, see me from inside.
You pass easily through, and I'm nervous as hell.
I've been with many, naked flesh I'm confident with, no
sweat.
You make me nervous though, more than any other has--
My knees quake a little, that I'm glad you've lain me down.
You're so sweet and kind, while I laugh from my heart.
I never thought of feelings being like this,
And it makes me feel more scared perhaps than I ever have
been before.
You pinky-promise me, staring into my eyes--
Past all the layers, to my very soul, and part of me
Never wants to let you go.
