My Name Poem by L.J. Miller

You whisper my name
It’s violent and beautiful, moving like a flame
It’s like a battle call
You raise your voice, ready to risk it all
It’s like a desperate cry
That you call out to the sky
You say my name and I still
Because I am under you will
I need you and you need me
Like a fish in the sea
Trying to swim
I follow your whim
Like a bird in the sky
Trying to remember how to fly
I will burn for you
There is nothing I won’t do
I’ll drown and dry
I’ll laugh and cry
Just give me your heart
And you won’t fall apart
