Stripped While Fully Clothed

The person inside who you love and care for You knowingly take it all The good and sometimes the bad My past, present and future Something I never had And all along did I ever believe someone would find my childhood memories cute? Giving your body away to someone is simple; done every day Without a name exchanged But money given- we are knowingly ruled by cash A cheating husband to the wife at home.. Wondering again what she's done wrong Every human so corrupt, and yet Somehow I still feel naked as I speak But you look at me and smile, I can tell It’s too genuine and I’m not used to this I’m being vulnerable, but this The silliest things it seems Bring the feeling on, but There’s a reason behind everything Every feeling, every word spoken A story behind the scarred wrist Or the lonliness and sadness Which brought on every tear that will ever exist All I know is this: When I’m alone with myself it’s only you that I miss

stripped down left all alone....beaten down, all hope is gone....how do we rise above all the pain....will passion ever revisit, rekindling the flame....can the bleeding heart ever be mended....only the fragile heart knows these answers, make sure yours is well defended....very inspiring maryann....;)
