show me

give me the worst

version of you.

let's start there and i'll do

the same.

i want to know what

you look like

in the morning

before the mask goes on.

i want to hear you curse

when the hot

water goes out.

show me the stubbed toe

moment,

the broken nail,

the scream when you find

another grey hair.

show me your wrinkles,

your sagging

skin,

your bruised heart.

your despair. 

show it all to me,

and i'll do the same

let's make it fair.

let's turn on the over head light,

the big light.

let's start there.
