Exposure

Job Welime

The more I love, the more I bleed.

Love peels the skin off my heart, leaves it naked in the open,
where every word can bruise, every silence can break bone.

I don’t fear pain, I fear how willingly
I walk toward it, arms open,
knowing the wound will be deep.

But I choose this ache.
Because closing myself
would hurt longer
than any moment
of loving you.
