Merciful God

slipping into the comfort of you,
the masks and outfits and disguises
all slipping off as i drip into you.

my socks of shame, falling away
my coat of humiliation, falling away
my underwear coated in the filth of self-loathing, falling away
my costumes rendered useless, falling away

slipping into the joy of you,
the joy at being home,
dripping into belonging

the comfort of being in you,
acceptance like a merciful god's
until there is nothing of me but you.
