Let me strip away the shame from you,
So that all that remains is your name.
Let me call you the way I want,
As I carefully braid your hair.
Put on a brave face, allow the natural glow,
Move like the air, steady and slow.
Ask not what I care to give;
Just remember you're here to believe.
Let me steal you from your soul,
And take you on a path of no control.
Let it sink inside your mind—
I'm everything you see, front and behind.
Let me skip past your broken bones,
Healing them with the magic of my hands.
Let me write a poem about your past,
While you enjoy being my first.
