Look into my eyes,
Tell me what you see.
Can you see my pain?
Can you see my shame?
Listen to my thoughts,
Tell me what you hear.
Can you hear my screams?
Can you hear my dreams?
Hear closely to my words,
Tell me what they mean.
Can you understand them?
Can you see a pattern?
Feel the beat of my heart,
Tell me about its rhythm.
Can you hear its song?
Can you even sing along?
Hold me close in your arms,
Tell me what you feel.
Can you feel me shaking?
Can you hear my words of thanking??
Think long and hard,
But only for a short second.
Are you feeling brave?
Are you going to promise to stay?
Well, let me step back,
But just for a moment.
So I can give back what you gave me.
So I can let you inside to see.
