Being Naked.
When I have felt the most naked.
It was not when I hadn't any clothes on or no makeup to mask my face. No, those only reach the physical state. It is when I can't respond to you because I had no idea what to say. When we argued over substance of nothing and it disintegrated any feeling within me. I am left bare as a barren desert grows inside. It's when I can feel your invisible hold on my heart / as it clenches a firm grip around my whole soul / and when the gasp is too far deep that is when I know you have me. The whole me. The naked me.
