Naked, exposed
left me, not neglected.
Found a way to see myself
inside another.
Once I thought I was drowning
So I let go
Found I was standing on solid ground
without a sound
you were there standing next to me, yet I could not see
I thought as I tried to explain no words came out
So I let go
without a sound
I found you, inside me as if you were always there.
I stood myself up and opened my eyes understanding what you mean to me
Striped naked, striped bare.
Exposed like a mirror, I saw me in you.
My skin began to peel as it ached and burned,
With each breath, I felt death
So I let go
I lay on the ground, protected as tears began to fall
without space
You near, your back against mine
together as my body began to disintegrate.
So I let go
The rain began to fall, cleansing my spirit as you faded to background
My skin began to heal, slowly as the sun shone through cloud scattered sky.
more pieces fell from me even as the new me grew.
I could see from the inside out, who I am all about
Love was rising filling holes that once were filled with dirt
With each new breath, I found life
My skin started to begin
I found me in you, my muse, my strength, forever connected.
So I let go
