I am/Seen,/Respected,/Loved.
Isabella Falsetti
I’ll keep my eyes open
As you ask permission,
I want to watch you
Watch me
As I consent
To trying
Something new.
I’ll keep my eyes open
As you grip my thighs,
I want to watch you
Watch me
As my breath
Rushes out
To meet
Yours.
I’ll keep my eyes open
As you touch my hair,
I want to watch you
Watch me
As I melt
In the warmth
Of your care.
I know my body,
How I sway to the ebb
Of being known.
I am
Seen,
Respected,
Loved. ❦
