I’d lay here naked.
Not innocent, not pure,
but yours.
I’ve washed away the mental scars
of my past.
I’ve scrubbed away
the emotional wall I took so long building up.
I’ll be vulnerable.
I’ll allow myself to trust.
I’ll be cautious, but I’ll give you my love.
Slowly at first.
Then I’ll give it my all.
Share with you the broken pieces.
My flaws and downfalls.
I’ll recite poetry that inspired it all.
I’ll showcase me through soft spoken words
and small pieces of unfinished poems.
I’d lay here naked in my most vulnerable self.
Enjoying your presence, the intimate pleasure.
Not sexual or raunchy,
just my words and your ear,
my lips and your mind,
my thoughts,
and your attention…
