Unclose me,
for I am wrapped tight in the shadows
of heartbreak’s making
a cocoon spun from whispers and
forgotten promises
each layer a testament to loss
Unclose me,
let your fingers trace the scars
I thought hidden
the lines etched deep by time and
solitude
where hope once blossomed, only to wilt
Unclose me,
with the gentleness of dawn
piercing the longest night,
your voice a song
that lifts the weight of silence
from my weary soul
Unclose me,
let your gaze unravel the knots
of doubt and despair
your eyes like the first light
after the storm, guiding
steady and true
Unclose me,
for within this fragile shell
there is a heart that beats
for you alone
a love that yearns to breathe
and pulse and grow
Unclose me,
and in the tender unveiling
find not the broken pieces
but the beauty of a soul
laid bare
ready to be healed
by the touch of your
unclosing love
Unclose me.
