Let Me
Let me
walkabout in your skin
or hide
Bury myself
in the spaces within
or try.
For someone
so used to running
standing here feels like falling
and I
need an anchor
something like music or poetry
to save me from drowning
in a reality
that feels so much
like dreaming.
Would you let me walkabout in your skin?
because mine seems too heavy for me
and I
a girl made for loving
has become a woman
afraid
of the shadows
beyond these eyes.
