I sit solemnly, exposed to another.
My mask removed, All parts of my being placed on the floor before her.
Piece by piece, I examine myself, opening doors sealed for ages;
Dust unsettles on feelings long abandoned.
Light does not penetrate so deep.
None have seen these hidden corridors of my mind,
These passages not tread by strangers.
Haltingly I guide her, Take her through the labyrinth.
None have seen and none have understood, till now.
As i show her, all i hope is that my secrets will remain with her,
That I won't be abandoned once more;
But i trust her, I hand over my burdens, fears, and hopes.
Glad to find a kindred soul, A friend in the darkness.
And so I bare it all, holding back nothing; For the first time.
Reveling in the release, long sought and never found, till now.
Author notes
I wrote this after I met a girl who i could share it all with. After opening myself to another, which i've never done before.
