Unguarded

I won’t guard myself

I’ll come unsheathed

For you to look at and admire

Uncovered, for the stare of your desire

I won’t guard myself

I’ll wait for the assault of your words

The ones which are said and unsaid

For you to hurt and devour

Unprotected, for this body is numb and nimble now

I want to see how much you feel and how

I want to be encapsulated

I want to surrender

To see if you’ll accept

This state of absolute being

I won’t guard myself

I’ll stand and watch

Every muscle you move
every breath you breathe

I’ll stand and watch

If you run for the hills again

Or if you cement your place

I’ll stand and watch

If you come closer than close

Or if you sit perched up afar at a distance

I want to see what you want

I want to see what you don’t want

I want you to surrender

And let me encapsulate

Your trust, your becoming

To see if we’ll resist

This onslaught of the world

I won’t guard myself

I’ll come unsheathed

For you to look at and admire

Uncovered, for the stare of your desire
