Naked

Heartbreak was my favorite song; I didn’t know how to move on

I hid myself behind my towel, ashamed of crying for a silly boy

My words were precise, my feelings expressed in a sentence too short

And deep down I knew it was essential for me to be naked

Not to be exposed, not to show off the curves on my body

But because I have a million scars that I am not ashamed of

Because I want you to see me for who I am, and where I've been

Because I got back up after being body slammed against the pavement

Because I am woman and I am strong



Love is my favorite song...and I remember the words to it now

The weak of my knees every time that you kiss me, so sweetly

The jubilant jump of my heart, when your number's on my caller ID

The small things that truly make me believe again; your smile

Knowing that the way you make me laugh is going to make it all worthwhile

You are beautiful to me, more than what I've been praying for

Sweet taste of Heaven, a friendship that I adore



I can’t believe I am falling in Love!



It’s all quite all right with me, acting silly like a schoolgirl, see?

It’s not too hard once you find the one you really want to be with

To recognize luck didn’t strike this time, it’s more like destiny

And I hope you’re more than just inspiration for my poetry…

That your love will last me for years to come;



Wrinkles and all



Because you’re the sweetest song, that’s been sung by my lips

Because I am standing here, naked before Thee
