Do you know how hard it is to stand here?
Exposed
You looking at me?
I’m afraid,
Self conscious of all the flaws that make up me
I can’t let you in.
I put up my walls.
I tremble at your touch.
Why do you stay? I say.
But please never leave
Be brave, you say
It’s only skin.
But
Skin minus the k is sin

Its just so hard to let go sometimes. to be naked and wearing only youreslf is scary, and also a feat I've yet to conquer completely... thanks for reading

a request
so true.
I have mentioned "it" as being naked as well. to expose one's self to another is a type of nudity. I would definitely love if you explored this topic more deeply in a following poem.
If you do let me know

This was a good write, keep it up. Its something you'll get over in time.

Interesting piece. I liked the uniqueness of this. Not too sensual, but I really did love it. The ending is my fav.

Oh My...
What a terrific take on the prompt... The doubts and angst of being naked with your love...a totally different perspective...even touching on the morality of it... Wonderfully complete and fresh... Well done!
