I want to stand naked before you
And not feel ashamed
Show you my faults
Show you my pain
I want to be the one to live for you
And for you I will die
When I cry
Will you make me smile?
Walk with me down the aisle
Say the wordsTo hold and to have
Expose my naked soul before you
And know that you won’t laugh
I want to unclothe my mind
So that you can findMy imperfections
Undress the mess that I call the past
And pursue with you a new direction
Can my words be au natural?
Uncover myself before your eyes
Will my nude feelings scare you?
Will it take you by surprise?
Or perhaps though your arms
From the pain can I escape
Undraped in your arms and free
Can we both just display
Some divine nudity

I’m not sure if you’re asking to be loved for what’s under the clothing but on the surface, or for what’s underneath the surface, but either way the imagery and feeling create a powerful piece.

Thanks for the comment K.M. If you can’t tell than I did my job because I wanted to be interchangable… 🙂

This is beautiful, Kim. I think that’s what all of us truly want – to be accepted and loved for precisely who we are, utterly naked and unadorned, no masks, no pretensions.
