I Bleed Easily

I'm afraid. Unravel me slowly, pray.
My mask unveiled. The smoke screen blown away.
I stand before you, unclothed- bare skin cold.
I've come undone. Helpless, no longer bold.

It's cold. So cold. Hold me my saving grace.
I have nothing- save your sweet, warm embrace.
Raw wounds, hurt me not when you handle me.
Hold me. Be gentle. I bleed easily.

A leap of faith, I'm learning how to fall.
Let my voice fall not on deaf ears when I call.
Angel, fold me in your wings. Hold me tight.
Soften the hard blows, make my burden light.

I'll no longer flinch at your tender touch.
No longer in the corner will I crouch.
Heal me, my wounds are eating me alive.
Without you as my shield, I will not survive.
