Layers

I'm naked and shameless
crushing myself to pieces
And just like that of
a chilli pepper... I burn
piercing these delicate eyes.
Carefully undoing these knots
and as I barely stand there tearing
you come to me in a brief flash of light.

I wipe away
the bitter toxicity
to clear the view
but you have run away
back into the bleak
darkness of the unknown
shedding all
which is non existant
in this world.

Is it better when
you know
that you are
not the only one?
To bury your self
deep within your
own confined safehell?
....sometimes I wonder...
