Me Poem by Aishya Helm

Can you see the stars in my eyes getting brighter?

Because I can feel them blazing when I give you that look.

My heart beats faster, the stars start shooting.

Time stopping. That's what we do, when it's just me and you. In our moment, after you said it, I heard it.

The wind stopped blowing, the air goes still. I don't hear sound until we step away, and even that is hard to do.

But still...

I can't breath sometimes.

Sometimes I forget to.

How beautiful, that I could have what a want.

I only dreamed of someone having my soul.

You read my eyes. And every glance, every smile as my mind goes into dance.

I have nothing to hide, because you would know.

Why would I hide what I'm proud to show.

I don't have many words. Because this is simple, my everything able to burst at the seams.

Please...

Promise me this isn't a dream.


I shake every time, and my balance is gone.

Humbly and confident I know I have won.

Not a battle, or a war.

I finally know what I deserve. It's still more than what I believe.

But you finally made me realize, what's worth loving...

Is me.
