we were naked...
not just in the trivial fashion after ***,
or how our clothes formed a mosaic on my floor

we were naked...
not just in a way that i could see sweat beads glistening on her perfect body
or how the orange hue on her skin had become my horizon

we were naked..
the walls around my heart had just been shattered.
my definition of living had just been altered

we were naked..
our muscles promised us of a million aches to come the next morning
she smiled as i puff out two more smoke rings
i could see our future in that haze

we were naked..
yes naked, no facades or lies to cover our flaws
no bolts to  lock our secrets behind four walls

we were naked..
she was like sunlight coming through a broken glass in a winter day
beautiful, warm ,soothing and all those other romantic cliches

we were naked..
the morning she decided to leave
i had  gone too close to the broken glass to feel the sun rays
in the bliss of her  beauty
i didn't realize the warmth on my hand was the blood trickling down from my wrist.

she left me naked..
stripped me of my dreams and fantasies
stripped me of the walls that protected me
stripped me of the strength i found in my vulnerability
stripped of that touch which comforted me..
