How could I ever tell you
how I really feel
when I stand before you

naked

the truth striped from my lions.

I watch,
listening for the chance,
the opportunity
to share with you
all that I am
or could ever want to be.

I am forever lost in this world
while not believing in another

waiting, watching, waiting
again for something to happen.

In this fashion,
in this verse

I am naked,
denuded,
forced to stand forever

without resolution.
