You are
New to me
But wait and see
I'll strip down naked
To my skin
It's all about the clothes
You're in
Until they're shed
Revealing skin
You are
Good to me
But wait and see
I'll strip down naked
To my flesh
Flesh that's flayed
Just tastes
The best
Shedding skin
Revealing flesh
You are
Sweet to me
But wait and see
I'll strip down naked
To my bones
Stark and white
Lean and honed
Leaving flesh
Revealing bone
You are
True to me
But wait and see
I'll strip down naked
To my soul
Dark and dreary
Sullen and old
Discarding bone
Revealing soul
And will you stay
If I am naked
Will you smile to see
Right through?
Will you mourn
My last breath taken?
Stripping scares
Life out of you...
