#009 Full Exposure

Kept in the dark, I miss our intimacy,
so baby, baby, come on, expose me.

Please sweetheart, shed your layers, one at a time,

your loose fat, your jagged scars and uneven skin
and I promise you I’ll fold open mine.
I’ll reveal the bumps and bits that make me who I am,
shaped by the places I’ve been.

Oh honey, honey, won’t you mirror my vulnerability?

Tear down your walls of insecurity?

I promise you, the secret of your imperfections is safe for me to keep,
Because my darling, -my perfect darling- your beauty is more than skin deep.
