I coiled within,
my very skin,
With every breath so hard,
my heart did char.
I swam in the night’s chill,
in the waters standing still.
“With my branches turning dry,
Would I ever touch the sky?”
“Yes”, you said,
kissing my forehead.
In that moment, your word set me free,
once again, I dared to believe.
I let my doubts sink,
as you made me think.
Questions danced within your tutee,
creating ripples of chaotic beauty.
With every insight,
I was strengthened inside.
In your touch, the dryness melted,
petals of hope bloomed, as my fears wilted.
Your love has made me see,
What I can truly be.
Promise that you’ll stay,
hold me tight and never let me sway.
–Yuhu
