Answer Poem by Maya Hanson

I don't think you want me to answer,
if I do you will leave me behind,
you have the world to play and I only have one piano.

I can frame what I feel for you with my fists,
love with only half a hand
when you're looking down at me.

I can smoke you like I'll never be sober,
risk it all when I fall apart,
keep half of your serenity.

I can only make your face fall when I answer,
give too much when I'm not enough,
leave you in the sky when I'm standing still.

I could want a road that doesn't end,
I don't know what I want, too heavy
when you're looking down at me.
