and I collapse into me...

There are days when
my body is so exhausted
I collapse into bed
without removing my clothes

And there are days when
she is so ashamed of her body
that she collapses into herself
leaving her clothes on the floor

I slept naked for both of us
in hopes that my certainty
would woo her away from
the terror of the mirror...


I slept naked for both of us
in hopes that my freedom
would release her hindrances
of being free...

I slept naked for both of us
in hopes that I could erase your past
and maybe I could
collapse into me
