LOOK AT ME IN THE EYE



Look at me in the eye

I am strong now. I can

Look at you closely

Unharmed. You change

Me to stone? You can’t

I am ready. Look at

Me in the eye. I am not

Scared anymore. I can

Look at you with nothing

To feel now. Years of

Binding.In the room

Of love I have confined

Myself. To your coldness.

I could have died. But

No, I have managed

To keep this heart

Soft. Alive. I am not

Broken. I have not

Allowed it. Look at me

In the eye. I have loved

You. Time heals. I have

Gone beyond loving you.

I am now free. You

Cannot own me forever

In your cold hands.

My heart has wings.

It has its own feet now.

Jumping with joy

To its newfound

Freedom. Love of myself.

I am now myself whole

Again. I love you.
