Nothing To Lose Poem by Maya Hanson

I'm not scared of falling, you're going to love the rush
don't settle for what I want you to be
I won't beg but I'll catch you
and when the ice still chokes you in warm weather
I'll fill this air with antifreeze.

We slip easily into this tango,
a minute in the same room and we're magnets
No matter how strong I dream the pull
this will never become somewhere
your name isn't carved in every wall.

I might be foolish but at least I don't hide it
I'm a creature of habit, I clutch my fears
even when you try to pull them out,
I want to be something you call home.

I shy from your hand and long for your heat at the same time.
I shy from your strength but I'm drawn to your shipwreck
because I can't possibly fix it.
We have nothing to lose.
What should we be scared of?
