I will unwrap all of me
and lay myself naked
at your door,
but remember this:
I will bite back.
With every promise
you have broken
and every lie
you have told,
I will bite back.
But if you would meet me,
naked and aching,
I would give back every promise
I have broken
and swallow every lie
I have told.
I would give back,
everything I have sworn
and the little I have left,
to the one brave enough
to bare their filthy soul
next to mine.

It is one thing to take ones clothes off, but to become truly naked with another is quite another thing.

This poem is right where I am with my ex lover! I gave her all of me. I bared my soul to her, she took my breath, my love and devotion without a thought she opened up and poured out the contents! When she was done there was nothing left but a shell of who I use to be! Thanks so much for your words and illustrations!
