A naked space

Poem

for a string to be pulled

the reel lets to give

it must unwind, unravel

unbraid, unweave even

some tugs are painful

some too early

some unthought

your whimpers are my only hints

your silence my only evidence

​

what emotions have you shared

what memories have you laid bare

what pain have you made me feel

which tears have you cried with me

how do I caress your soul

how do I convince you to stay

how do I promise I’ll be careful

how do I connect when you have up your walls

​

the heart has been wrung

only your memories drip

and drip broken dreams, of what could be

unconditional affection

not love, not friendship, not nothing

just to care

just to be there

just to share

to be bare

a safe non-judgemental space

a cosy corner of idiots

a place to just be naked, with

honesty- the only hammer to break our masks

​

I wish you’d see what we’ve lost

I hope you understand,

its not your dopamine

its not your desperation

its not even a dependency

there are no T & C's

its just is

this

whatever it is

​

is it worth keeping up these walls

is it worth letting it go

to be stripped naked

to be cold

and vulnerable

and scared of scars

but give it one more chance

perhaps.
