a poem
I wrote this two days ago on an envelope I pulled out of my purse as I was waiting for the bus on my way to work. It's been a while since I've been struck by a line like that, and I'm glad to know I still have it :)
Until My Skin Explodes
Every inch of skin unfolds itself
And I come undone
My flesh detaches itself and floats,
Almost eagerly, away
My muscles and veins unravel
As droplets of blood
Stain all that is around me
My organs shrink into themselves
Until they are no longer visible,
Except one.
All that is left is my heart and my bones,
I am naked,
Open,
At your disposal.
It seems quite morbid but in reality, it's kind of the feeling that I'm looking for, somebody that makes me feel naked just by looking at me, somebody that gets underneath my skin, into my head, behind my wall. Someone who strips me down to what counts most.
I'm such a girl.

Except one.
