now that you’ve seen
the worst of me
will you still hold me tight
or let go of me in a sight?

now that you’ve seen
the ugliness in me
will you still keep me warm
in your loving arms?

now that you have seen
the outrage I could make
will you understand
and stay as planned?

you don’t need to answer
your blank stare says it all

      1. Agreed, I think once we learn to become more vulnerable with those around us we start to realize how many beautiful connections doing so can lead to! No problem, here to support a fellow poet 🙂

      1. Yes, Marilyn was a beauty! 🙂
        She made some movies that have been favs of mine for eons! I watch them whenever I get the chance! She was beautiful, smart, and so funny! 🙂
