wide open
you receiving me
I had been utterly vulnerable
unashamed of my tears
not hiding my flawed self
and stripped away of false confidence
in your presence
I was naked
with my assumptions questioned
my projections rejected
I bared
myself
in front of you
my shadows exposed
my wounds triggered
I eased into the delight and bliss
of your embrace
soothed and getting lost in you
I surrendered my soul
you were my weakness
and my strength
with you now gone
I am left
with no fear
my heart wide open
