Let Me In, Let Me In

Tell me what your dreams are,

what you aim to be.

What is your first thought in the morning,

and what you think of me.

 

Tell me what book are you reading,

and what is beside your bed.

What poetry do you like,

and why did we fight.

Tell me what annoys,

and what brings you joy.

Because honey, I am here to rejoice. 

Tell me about your childhood,

and when you burned your hand.

Twirl your finger around a loose strand,

and tell me where I stand.

 

Tell me about your school years,

and what you remember the most.

Tell me a secret, tell me a fear,

share with me and let's be clear.

I am here to stay, I will not disappear.

I desire to view the world with your eyes.

Hear the music with your ears.

Touch the moon, smell the rain,

taste the Earth.

With you, in you,

Because how I feel is true.

Let me in, let me in.

Take me to places, show me faces,

invite me to your parents' house.

Introduce me to your friends,

and hold me in public, don't be shy.

You can trust me, I don’t lie.

 

Watch the sunset with me,

and pray for me at night.

Cuddle me up, and hold me tight.

Let me admire your eyes, and

trace the freckles on your nose.

Oh, please, let me lean in close.

 

Let me prize you.

Let me treasure.

Let me love you.

Let me cherish.

Let me burn your walls,

may they diminish.

Call me tuberose,

or call my name.

Laugh at me,

or along with me.

Look at me and steal a glance.

Let me in, let me in.

We still have a chance.

Tell me what your dreams are,

what you aim to be.

Let me read you,

and you will read me.

I am a well written script.

Get nearer, and you will see.

Dear poet, I would like to know your thoughts about this poem. How does it feel when you read it? What mood does it suggest to you?

[MaryOwais]

I wanted to deliver more details and emotions while writing it, but I couldn't. It doesn't feel finished to me, nor convincing. There is an unfinished true story behind it, so I believe that explains my feelings towards it. Did you feel anything while reading it?

[Misery]

It feels like a tender, touching lover's poem with much vulnerability.
