Translucent
The curtains pulled back
A disappearing act
Don’t hold me too close
Don’t whisper too kind
You might just feel me
Slip through your fingers
Slip through your mind
I peel my skin back to show you the truth
There is nothing beneath
I ask you for proof of your feelings for me
Don’t tell me
Stay silent
Or say your goodbyes
The embedded rhyme and repetition move this piece nicely.
