The Giraffe Blog – Poems by Virgenal Owens

You want more
Than I can give you.
You pull, 
So all the more I push away.
I have no answers for you.
I'm still questioning myself.
It's impossible to open up
Parts of me that, for years,
Have been locked away.

And I tell you that I lost the keys
A long time ago,
You tell me you are locksmith.
And I tell you I have passcodes,
You tell me you are code hacker.
And I tell you no, 
You tell me yes.

Then I realize, all this time,
You have been flamethrower, 
Melting away my prison bars
Without me noticing.
