Take off your dress
You said
And I did
In one swift movement, discarded in a heap
With my inhibitions
And fear.
I threw it, I threw it
I threw it all away.
Take off your dress
Do you know how that felt?
Do you know how I’ve longed to be told just that?
To be told, to be told,
To be told, by you.
Take off your dress
And then you gazed upon me, saw me
Stripped me even more than naked
Stripped me of all my defences, of all of my doubts.
Take off your dress*
I did, I did, so where are you now?
How can you leave me
Undressed
And bereft?
