Heart, Breath, and Soul

What can I give you beyond the words,
after the warmth of touch,
the sharing of feelings...
what's left once I've shed covering cloth,
washed myself to a suffused glow,
laid down beside you,
released the I inside.
What's left beyond the words...
but heart, breath, and soul.

I really like this one: "released the I inside."
