i want

i want you
to look at me like
i am worth something.

i want you to
look at me like ive got
a honey pot around my waist, like
i am every religion wrapped up in one
and you are looking for salvation.

i want you to look at me
like you weren't ashamed of looking,
like you thought i was worth fucking,
like you thought that you could touch me
without cringing, like looking at me
woke up all your chakras, like

when you looked at me you didn't see
a mother. a confidante. look at me
not like a confessional but
like an equal.

no, like a goddess.
