Stripped Down

Why do I love him?
Why do I care?
Does it even matter,
That i've been stripped down,
Bare.

Stripped of my heart;
Stripped of my mind;
Stripped of my soul;
Stripped of my pride;
Stripped of everything,
Everything that's a guide.

My heart get's torn and tattered,
From being worn on my sleeve.
But that still isn't a good excuse,
For you to get up, go. Leave.

Tears threaten eyes,
Excuses, hard to buy,
And yet....

I still love you.
I still care.
It doesn't even matter,
That i've been stripped down,
Bare.
