Bare

So i lay here
wrists slit and naked for all to see
does my bareness offend you?
does the sight of blood make you sick?
i apologize
for this is who i am and i can only be me
bare and broken but unashamed
and as i lay here
blood pouring from my wrists
trickeling down my fingers
dropping onto my abdomen
i am at peace
bleeding and bare i am at peace
there is no white light
i do not see God
only you
i am alive
and as you take my blood stained hand i realize that we are both bleeding
I from my wrist you from your heart
we are both bare
the world turns but we are at rest
you grab my lifeless limbs
kiss my slit wrists and wait
my pulse gets weaker but my body feels no loss
i surrender
