like a snake shedding its skin
shed yours
i know it’s fake
be bereaved of pretentions
crawl under my skin
creep into my veins
breathe to the tune
of my heart’s beat
for only then you’ll know
i need you body and soul
minus
your masks
minus
your deceits
minus
your longing
to come clean
like a prisoner
on death penalty
wailing
wanting
one miracle
to live as long as the sun
walk in my shadows
only then you’ll see
i want your love
just the way you are
i want to love you
just the way you are
