As I am

Could you love me as I am

Naked

Raw

And unashamed

Would you meet me in the night

When wounds are seeping

Skin torn tight

Across deep scars

Of where life bites

The tender flesh

Spiralling the hurting soul

Into pools of emptiness

Would you catch the tears of blood

Could you bear the healing flood

Would you open your heart to this

Could you bear the ravaged kiss

Of what is real

To meet me

Completely

In the chaos

And the mess

Naked

Raw

Unadorned

Crying out

For tenderness
