I got naked for you
But not in the typical way
My clothes hid my shame
While I waited at the corner of
Child-like and 25-years-old
You stripped me clean
Seeing each crevice and crack
All my dirty, little secrets
Each emotion a freckle
Each memory a scar
You touched my naked body
To make me whole
But each touch left a burn
On my cold, clammy skin
As you grazed each curve
My innocence withered
As I wasted away
You walked away
Leaving me naked, shaking
Cold and clammy
Another freckle
Another scar
Burns in the shape
Of your too-strong hands
I got naked for you
So that I could heal
But you took my innocence and left me in pieces

Disarmament
They say there's no atheism in the foxhole. While I wasn't currently neck-deep in a river of soft sediment, I was still praying to whoever would listen. Why am I doing this again? I would ponder while staring at the device that in no less than a minute could be my undoing. I scanned each and every variable panel and commonplace button as I watched the bright red L.E.D ticker countdown. No wires to cut, no code to put in, there was only one way to stop this infernal machine, and that incurred perfect timing.
