Excuse me sir
I let you in my shell
my pearl was in your hand
that precious part
A fragile microphone stand
that cuts out if you don't know it fully
if you don't understand
I wanted to learn your stairs
avoid the squeaky places
for my toes to dance without disruption
for my frame to move about without weight
without lead
for my presence to be cloaked
your body my blanket
and my light to be full
reunited with its sibling
with its twin
its source
I wanted to be whole again
I wanted to be important
a pearl on the neck of someone extraordinary
in the hands of someone
like you.....
