Melissa Koeman Poems

I was your doll
You pulled my strings
I could only follow
Feeling helplessly
...

Change myself
Turn my life upside down
No more insecurity
Brave is what I long to be
...

Remarks:
“You’re quiet, I don’t hear you, is there something wrong? ”
Just let me be
I don’t care to explain my ways, to them
...

I need protection
Arms that hold me tight
Come back for me
Believe in me
...

I took away my blindfold
As I looked in the mirror
I only saw my empty reflection
Full of desperation,
...

Do you see me?
Do you hear me?
I want you to look at me
Give me your attention
...

You stand in front of me
With your eyes fixed on mine
You reach to take away my mask
I flinch away
...

Again I go unnoticed
You are a shadow in my imagination
Waiting to step into my light
So put on the searchlights
...

I search the whole wicked world for you
Travelling through cities,
Crossing roads,
Sailing the oceans,
...

It's there hidden in your heart
And it grabs you,
claws it's way deeper inside you
Taking your soul
...
