a result of impulsiveness. excuse this word vomit.

Soft skin, rosy lips, and heated cheeks.
Lay all bare for you to witness.
In this game of hide and seek,
I admit defeat through faked boldness.

I felt so afraid,
of falling,
of feeling naked,
of drowning.

With your eyes that appear to be judging
of every word that I would speak,
every breath that I would take, and;
even the subtle fidgeting of my body.

I felt it crawling under my skin.
The trail of itchiness that your stare left.
The ghost of a grin on your lips.
Alas, this is your win.

Nothing left to hide in this tragic scene,
when the whole time you were the only one clothed.
I accept my foolishness, my only sin.
You left this game unscathed,
‘cause I was the only one naked.
