Exposed

Wrapped I am,
in the colors
that illuminate
the warmth that
coincides with
the tears that
play my skin.

Numbness folds,
disintegrating to
that which holds
me.
Mascara runs.
Behind this heart
lies someone so
in love with you.

My anger peels,
my prayers heal,
my memories steal
its place for confinement,
and deeper still
I feel,
I feel for the first time.

I'm letting myself
love you like I've
never loved before.
You make me want
to try,
fly,
to show the world
what I can be.

On the sidewalk of
my soul, I've found
someone that truly
makes me whole.

My emotions drip,
creating a grip so
alive that it rips
open our everything;
leaving us no choice
but to praise the one
above.

Conquering myself,
step by step,
rip by rip,
I'm opening myself
to the outstretched
arms of you.

I'm unmasking my
past, not one shred
remaining.
I'm revealing myself,
bearing all I long to
be; no more fears
will keep me from
one of the greatest
things in life.
