Naked

Naked 
Baring all
Not just my body but
My heart, my soul
Trusting acceptance 
Cuz you said you love me
I drop it all now, -defences,  protections 
Emotionally naked
All my fears are on the table 
My inner most flaws and insecurities
You've made me feel safe it's ok to show all of me
I'm so not perfect 
I have scars 
I have bruises
Do you think they're ugly?
will you turn away?
How I love you, so much
So much that I want you to know me
Really know me, see me
I'm so not perfect. 
Will you love me,
Anyway
Or run away

Wow you said it all. I am feeling the same. I am at the point in truthfully able to love once in life. I keep wanting to run away. Go hide somewhere because the feelings are so foreign, and its scary. He won't even talk to me. Thanks for posting your writing today. I am not on here much. It helps to relate, and you helped me feel not so alone in what I am experiencing.
