Naked Before You

I have nothing to hide behind - I am naked before you
You now know me in the deepest way possible
You know everything - this is not what I wanted
I did not want to share this much with you - to give so much of myself
I did not want to love you so deeply - to feel so much
I tried so hard to hide my very being from you
I showed you what I was not
You tore way at my facade until there was nothing left
I wanted to hide from you all my deepest feelings, my secrets, my desires,
my wishes, my fears and my heart
You made me give it all away
I cannot hide anymore
I feel so vulnerable because now you can see just how to hurt me
