Stripped to the bone

by Beth - Scorpio

I don't know if you
realise
that by now
you probably  know me
better than I know myself

No fancy words
I'm not much good at that
No hidden meanings
okay , maybe just a few
My sick sense of humour
warped beyond comprehension
Yes I do know I am not at all as funny 
as I sometimes think....: )you tell me often enough 

But this is me
I don't play games
I don't lie
I don't cheat

I expose myself to you
Impose myself onto you
I have stripped away
all my defenses
showing you
the very depths of my soul
You  didn't ask
Nor did I
But it doesn't change
that for you
I actually cleaned the grime off the glass
allowing you a passing glimpse
All I ask is
You don't break the window
just to step inside.....
