I must be that flower that turns transparent when rain falls on it
Baring its insides
The skeletal map of its existence.
I am that bud that opens its petals only to shed them at the slight touch.
I am beautiful as long as you we are far apart
Because coming close might mean you will see it all
Know it all
Feel it all
All that I have kept hidden under the guise of white petals.
I am that flower, the one that sheds every inhibition at the slight touch of kindness
only to shut down
When discarded.
