Bare

I am raw;
stripped down
to my very bones.
there is nothing left
of me
because you look at me
and I am
nothing,
not anymore.

when you touch me
I am just
a body -
nothing more than
soulless, meaningless
meat to be
scavenged.

so,
what can I say?
what can I feel?
how can I move forward?
I cannot-
anything.
I am
stuck;
you have put me
on pause.

all
I can be is your interpretation
all
I can see is you-
your steel face and sharp laugh-
all
I am is my bones.

I would
scream and cry
(if I could)
because you have
skinned me
of all I ever was
and all I ever
could be.
