Exposed

There… I’m fully exposed The lights are on The covers are gone Exposed I shiver Scared to the bone Of being fully known Exposed I wait Each sense fully awake Ready to give or to take Exposed My eyes are closed Afraid to look in your eyes Whether I’ll see truth or lies Exposed I feel The tremor in your touch What I’ve wanted so much Exposed I hear Delight's quick inhale And I slowly exhale Exposed Your ragged voice Whispers in my ear... “Are you for real?” Exposed I smile with content A risk was taken Love was given Exposed!
