Stripped

You take it away
The pain
The cloths
There is nothing
Between us
Only love
Affliction of affection
Bare me to your eyes
I have nothing
To hide from you
Take me
No pain
I am not ashamed
Revealed to you
Everything in me shown
You gaze upon me
You are now bared
Cool air about us
Let me see your face
We are alone
No one to disturb
Take me in your arms
Accept me as I am
Cynic, poet, suicide
I hold you as you are
Tormenter, betrayer, cruel
Both cunning
I can feel you
As if myself
Everything is tous
For now
Torture waits
Between our freedom
But freedom comes only
In our bondage to each other
Reexamine each other
I reach into you
And embrace what you curse yourself for
You search through me
And kiss my hatreds and fears
I am nothing before you
But you cling to me
Frantically kissing me
Our time is short
We cannot stay forever
But we will
Hold for now
You degrade yourself
I forgive you
Embrace you now
There is no shame
Only acceptance
Found nowhere else
I am yours
Only you can care
For me as I am
As I exist, and I will not change
You cannot hurt me but only care
As I take you and all your faults
You are loved
I will not harm
Kiss me now
Search my face for discontent
You will find none
I am stripped before you
And you before me.
We are free.
