Vulnerability
By Jorah Long

 

Little secrets, little lies,
knowing glances, voiceless sighs-
fill the void-flesh to flesh.
Point your gentle words my way;
please don't criticize
tonight…
I need your approval, just a nod.
I seek from you what I need from God-
fill the void-flesh to flesh.
Come closer now; feel my breath.
Please don't tell me I'm a fraud
tonight…
