Unraveled

I’ve always believed 
that on the other side of me 
on the other side of this
there has always existed you 
it was in those quiet moments 
when all I could hear 
was the tick-tock of the clock 
I could feel the darkness of the night 
lying quietly upon my skin
and in these moments 
here with you
I feel so infinite
every layer of myself
begins to unravel
naked before you
wearing only my scars
and I am finally seen
finally free

  1. The final six lines are so beautiful, Jennifer. To be able to feel safe baring all your scars… freedom. ❤️
