Bare Exposure

If I expose my soul, will you still love me

If I let you touch my soft underbelly

and I cry my sins to the winds of war

will you grimace and walk away

If I let you seep into my veins

will you remain fluid

If I let you see the truth in my eyes

will you be blinded by the past

If I let trust build a tower

would you climb that leap of faith

If I opened up my heart to you

would you bare your womb to me 

If I unfold my arms for you

would you let your truth seep into me

I am in constant awe of women as they enter relationships and make themselves so vulnerable in the process. I think sometimes it is best to say that the past is yours and today and the future is invested in another person. We are who we are and that isn't always what others want us to be. All that is capsualized in this work very well and I could feel the underlying question of "is the real me sufficient and what will I get in return?" I really enjoyed this one.

This was just a natural progression after We all fall down, felt naked and raw after that....thanks, I will keep you words embellished in my psyche! Thanks, glad you enjoyed it, I think.

I truly enjoyed the work, not the condition.

this can be viewed from both sexes eye view we all as people want someone to love and be loved and pour our whole being within someone who will not look at you any different no matter what these questions you ask in this piece are rather strong question we all deserve a answer to

"If I let you seep into my veins will you remain fluid".. nice question.. xo :)

simply breath-taking. i always enjoy visiting your lovely writings. your words so eloquently captured the apprehension of how one feels in starting or being in a relationship, exposing their heart, their body, their soul. i love the fluidity of this and every word you used and how you used them. again, simply astounding. 100 to 100 --- brilliant write, my friend c:

this is very good...the vulnerability, the asking of the questions.

but vulnerability is good...i do it...nice to see when a woman is willing to also...
there is something sensual about that.

[Frieda P]

there's vulnerable and then there's Vulnerable...some don't find it sensual, rather a chance to break someone. I always appreciate your candid comments. Thanks jacob.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

you are so right...it is not sensual if the vulnerability is abused.

[That_Girl]

Interesting, Frieda. Always questions to ask ourselves, as well as others. Nice!

[Frieda P]

Thanks....too many questions eh?

[That_Girl]

Never enough actually.
