Naked Human Feelings

Raw flesh
Melted together
tangled hearts,
empty without one another
unfinished sentences,
interrupted by kisses inbetween
unforeseen
declarations of love

no glances at the clock
time is only
a feeble concept of the mind
between two bodies,
time is nothing; it's frozen, anyway

Skin exposed
every part, every emotion
vulnerable
she considers trying to cover
embarrassed by the scars from before
she reconsiders, and doesn't even bother
no longer worried about being perfect
but focused on making herself complete
she needs him, to do so

doubt rises in his mind,
but only for a second
he's reassured by the look in her eyes
and in the glance he returns
is a promise to protect her
from the monsters under the bed beneath them
and more importantly,
from the ones deep within her soul.
