I lay myself bare before you. So that you can see to the very core of me. So that you can see the darkness in my soul, the knife stabs on my back, the twisted gashes on my heart with as much clarity as you can my eyes, lips and ears.
I step out from the layers I don. So that nothing is hidden from your eyes. I let you see me beyond what the world can of me.
I make myself extremely vulnerable in the exposure. I know. But that is the only way I know how to love.
A marvel … the only way I know how to love…

Thank you!
Beautifully written again. I always marvel at your ability to convey so much in so few words (and also leaving a lot to imagination)
@Lifesong
Thank you so much for your kind words, Lifesong. I try my best. There’s a lot to learn, yet.
Very Touching!
@Maxims
Thank you!
The level of sincerity portrayed is very touching!
@Maxims
Thank you so much!
I am glad you liked the post!
Indeed, TGND, that’s the only way to love. What is the point of holding back, putting conditions and so on?
@Zephyr
So true! Sadly, I have seen a lot of people not revealing their true selves to their husbands, holding back. Some of them want to hold a ‘trump card’ in their hands.
Works in a literal and metaphorical sense–excellent, emotional writing!

You just made me type out my next post. Thank you for the inspiration as well. You just made a lazy blogger blog again.

@Kismi
Thank you, Kismi!
Very poignant words, TGND. Love is never half way, is it ? It is all or nothing.
@Sudhagee
Exactly. Love is either all or nothing. It cannot be in half measures, at least for me.
Love is – to each, his own..eh
@Visha
True. Different people have different ways of interpreting love.
