He smiled patiently
as I unlocked the wooden trunk
where all my little secrets and skeletons lie.
I pulled them out
one by one...
unwrapping each
from their parchment dressing.
Laid bare on the table before us
He examined them...
with discerning eyes
Noting the color and shape
Of each little bone.
I waited for the gasp...
The shudder
Waited for him to turn cold
And walk away...
He gently wrapped each
and placed them with care...
into the trunk
and closed the lid.
Turned to me and smiled...
His hand on my cheek
"You were always beautiful to me...
and now I know why."
