Undone



I lay here before you,
u n d o n e.
And it is my greatest fear.
And it is my greatest desire.
Oh, my darling, set my
soul
on fire.
How I have waited for this moment, how I have yearned to be so close to you.
For you to be so close to me,
for you to see
me
in nothing
but the      pale light of the
moon.

About this poem

This poem was inspired by a friend of mine who confessed their feelings for me and I realized I could open myself up to those feelings, much later.
