HelloA Poem by Katie Kistler
I just want you to know
when we’re alone it’s all I wanted and you’re my home no matter where we go we’ve got it through the summer rain and winter storms I’d brave it all to keep you warm and safe inside my arms I’d brave it all I’ve been asleep for near a quarter century woke up with the sun shining on me a snowflake crown atop your head confirming everything I’ve read everyone will find their somebody you’re somebody to me and we’ve been hurt and we’ve been pushed and we’ve been down and we’ve been good and ended up exactly where we should loving you’s a story for the books you’ve been big eyes and big hearted your whole life argue with me if you want, I know I’m right you’ve been sweet and overzealous you’ve been cautious and unselfish I’ve been waiting to say hello to you since 1997 and I’d go to war for you if you asked me to with sharpened tongue and sharpened knife I’d burn it down for you castles crumble, armies fall I’d push my chest out, stand so tall meet your eyes above the ruins and do it all again for you © 2024 Katie Kistler |
