Can you see through this skin
That I have made transparent for you?
Does it bother you to see me laid bare like this
With my life brought into the sunshine
The light shining on the parts you find ugly
The liver spots
The man in my arms
The book unbelieved?
A woman wrapped in a rainbow flag once sang to me
To be the one to walk in the sun
And to show my true colours
And I longed to heed the music and open my heart
As faggots cheered with fists in the air
Now I long no more as I walk and show
And I am happy
Except for knowing that as I flame
I burn the ones I love.
