Allowance

 The walls are high

As I stand in the middle

Of the fortress

I look around

Breathe in the air

 

I look at the gate

Wondering if I should run

I see you there

Waiting patiently

Loving me

Looking at me

 

My knees begin to shake

I fall to the ground

With my head buried

In my hands

 

You walk slowly

And kneel down

Lift up my chin

Looking at me

Not saying a word

 

My tears stream down

As your arms wrapped

Around me tight

Not saying a word

 

I hear footsteps

I let go for just a moment

Looking

Realizing

How much I have let in

 

You have touched me

They have touched me

Touched my heart

Touched my life

 

I fall back into your arms

As I am trying so hard

To let you in

To let them in

To allow the love

To allow the hurt

To leave me

 

I feel them come closer

Like a wall of protection

Even though I feel open

Your arms just get tighter

Reminding me it’s ok

 

Reminding me

No one is going to hurt me

You are not going to allow it

Reminding me I am loved

Cared for

I am not hated

I matter

 

Allowing you in

Means I need to trust

And remember

How much I mean to you
