Let Me Poem by Maya Hanson

I am only here for your eyes.
I can only feel in your head.

I am not comfortable enough in this skin yet,
let me try on yours.

Let me love you like I should love myself after this many years,
pull me back when I can't stop wanting,
hold me in a death grip when I can't choose
so I don't have to walk either way.

Give me a lens to see arrows like armor,
they can't pin me to walls just with glances anymore.

Let me see fireworks here, a home,
stop me from
holding myself in hellfire
and dropping heaven at your feet.
