A short poem about vulnerability and care

By Matthew JohnsonPublished 4 years ago • 1 min read

As we laid flat on my soft bed,

holding each other in our arms,

your warm hands caressed my cheeks

I recall the feeling vividly,

As I closed my eyes,

I felt the tears stream down my face

and darken my blue pillow

A disguise I kept in faux

a lie I was afraid to know

The feeling of vulnerability,

a bittersweet place
