I often wonder
If can I only offer
this version of myself once?
Speak these words,
Share these feelings
Shake this butt,
build this trust.
freely given, but
it does have a cost.
wandering lost..
Greener pastures to give
this new best version of me.
All for a kiss
We trade naivety
for wisdom
a blurry image?
for what's underneath the hood.
The distilled essence of my totality.
We prepare tribute from the council of past me's
to lay at your feet,
cast upon altar.
a willing sacrifice.
Me.
