Holding Hands in Holland

Hands that lead me,
   spin me and heal me;
       I feel lost and found and swept away.
Eyes that hold their gaze,
   tearing through the shame,
      seeing the softness I thought was lost.
Lips that graze my skin,
   raw and vulnerable,
      Breaking through my rusted armor.

I feel myself splitting open at your touch;
Torn between what was lost.
Trapped in this disguise.

I am desperate to escape you
   before you feel my brokenness. 

But then you pull me close:
"You don't need to run away anymore."

I am home.
I can love.
I can be loved.
