Love Poem: Snakes

Snakes

Snakes

They’ll lay with you
Tracing skeletons
Whispering songs 
To let them in 

You say no
Who could trust a snake?
But the more you lay together
Your heart is not so scared

It cracks open
Slightly
Just enough
For the snake to slip right in

In the moment
Before it flees
Your heart feels whole
Like the crack 
Was always meant to be
