Stripped bare
standing before you
with nothing but my heart on the line
just a girl
with love on her mind
and a foolish hope that you see me
the whole of me
and love me through the flaws and fancy and fantasies
a terminal case
that's what i have
and no amount of eternities offered up would be enough to give you up
would only further drive my need for you
a hunger compounded by obvious distance
though distance is immaterial in matters of heart and mind
you, ever-present,
like a carousel
twirling around
burrowed deep within
so that my first thought begins with you
builds the framework of my day's house
and resides as that last fleeting peace before dreams reconcile us
i stand here
in naked honesty
as an offering
my heart no longer my own
my breath strengthened by the knowledge you exist
and i am stripped bare
fledgling love my gift
the whole of me
utterly yours
