Poems
Oct 2020
To be held
I hugged myself one night.
Amidst angry words I heard
despite their silence;
among the eyes of those
who were not there;
against anything and
everything I’ve
ever done;
I hugged the flesh that carved itself;
engulfed the form I’ve never known;
I kissed my heart, too weak to fight;
I held myself one night.
And oh,
What it felt like to be loved.
(Finally.)
