To the Bone

by Mad Hatter - Capricorn

I loved to watch you
strip to the bone
flesh and blood
flash of breast
peek of thigh
exposed
mind and heart
set apart, closed
off from prying eyes,
naked but alone
performing for no one.

You teased and pulled away
keeping time in your own way
peculiar, detached, unknowable,
fascinating in your own fashion
Untouched, untouchable,
Unknown.

Where do I begin:
How did this end?
All possibilities exhausted
All connections dead
No hope to ponder
Only the deepest cut
Oh so red,
Bled to the bone.
