Read Me ~ A poem of love and healing




READ ME


Watch your eyes dance around my face
Feel your thoughts as you do so - refrain
Love how you look as you silently read me
Smile when you catch me off guard - submit


Sublime, obsessive crumble - yearn for embrace
Vulnerable, weak - how could we know?
Tremble, delicious knowledge that you see me
Oh, to be this simple - and it is…for now


You read me, such persistent courage
No other has attempted…or succeeded
You see who I am, chose not to run
Broke through walls, intent to understand me -

Content to give me time.
