Hidden Value

Special thanks to Venus and Squeak, for starting this, into motion.

I can feel your eyes
Staring at me
Probing deeply
Into my soul
Searching for
Some hidden truth
Unknown to myself.

As I feel
My anxiety levels
Starting to rise
As my defenses dissolve
Under your penetrating eyes
Although I feel no malice
In your intention.

Rather
Warmth and curiosity
Brushing
Rhythmically
Against my body
Attempting to ease
My anxiety.

Something unusual
I have not experienced
Before this day
In my life
A missing piece of myself
Never realized I was
Until now.

A gaping hole
Within my heart
Large enough
To swallow me
Whole
Leaving no trace
Of my existence.

Which you help me
In the healing
Of this emotional absence
Long part of my spirit
Allowing me
To start loving myself
Instead of hating.
