You enter my pride, tearing me free of my ego
stripping me bare
Nude feelings tremble
under your stoic gaze
lets peel it back slow
like there’s somethin worthy underneath
even tho we know there’s nothin
but skin scars and warnin signs
Your eyes penetrate, burning my soul
My thoughts go dark, and I weep
It does no good, my defences are failing
been holdin the line so long
you’ve forgotten what it’s protectin
let it fall
what’s left isn’t gentle anyway
You push through to the real me
The part you see so clearly
And I refuse to admit
funny how sure you are
like clarity doesn’t come with cost
i’ve clawed thru every version of me
and still haven’t found one worth keepin
You know I desire your monster
You watch me on your periphery
slowly taking note
you want the monster
but only if he behaves
he doesn’t
and i won’t lie for him
my innocence evident
My dreams in blue stimulate your masculine
You move toward me, and I protest
innocence?
that’s just what you’ve named the quiet
and if you protested
I only heard it as permission
But you won’t be refused
My midnight has come, and you see her so clearly
My inner vixen
i’ve met midnight
slept in her mouth
she doesn’t bare teeth
unless she means it
and neither do i
