Trials of Love's Judgement
What more of me shall suffice
I've poured my heart's content
of what I am no more no less
a stringless puppet
Here I stand a naked man
I've stripped myself of stubborn pride
so that I may listen to understand
what kinds of thorns grow
on your hands
Your touch to my skin
is like that of a rose petal
and after a thousand years
I know now why you have stayed
cause my love means more
than all the heartache

Your touch to my skin
is like that of a rose petal
and after a thousand years
I know now why you have stayed
cause my love means more
than all the heartache

The metaphor "naked man" stood out for me. As if it gave me a slap to the cheek reminding me
of something I sort of was. This is nice.

thank you EmptyTree, what I did here was try to depict man's pride as a sort of hardened shell which as goes for most men (not all) that it can be stripped from the very fabrics of his flesh. A pride of man being a man when it comes to showing his love and affection for a woman when that love goes too far to comprehend.
