Shattered and glistens all silver pieces
Slow-motioned and fragile piercing through all
Cutting and bleeding emotions leak through
Dampened and cold—shivering and solo
I stand naked, raw, and alone
Christ-like my hands rise with the moon
Cooled, pale, skin ripples thru the dusk
As all the tiny pieces find their way and their mark
They lodge and they burn and keep me safe
But the scars that remain forever and all
Exclude the good also I have come to learn
And so I stand bare with my scarred cold skin
Wondering when I’ll let you in...
