Exposed

I am a mess; a wreck
Lying helpless in the fold of your arms
The only steady thing is the beat of your heart
And I am damaged; fragile
Pulling you close to feel your warmth
Nothing as consistent as the beat of your heart
I am raw; vulnerable
As I breathe in the scent of your skin
Soothed by the unchanging beat of your heart
And I am exposed; unmasked
Aching for the feel of your skin on my fingertips
Betrayed by the uncertain beat of my heart
I am foolish; irrational
Desperate for the taste of your lips; your kiss
Deceived by the irregular beat of my heart
I am weak without you
