itayntam ll Poet Free verse

what i mean is,

I want,
more than anything
to be let into your world
the one which you've walked alone
whose buildings were built
by those who will never see their work

I don't care what it looks like
I'm not here for the pretty buildings that you are most proud of
I want to walk with you
barefoot, touching all the glass shards
which you left stained with years of your blood
fighting to pick up every piece that was left
of some of the tallest buildings you once loved most

No, I won't take the pieces you can't give away
I'm not that angel
I'll leave it all the way it was
I understand, that together they make up who you are
I don't want to change that, 
But look again at what's been built
And see how much space there is for more

I want to hold the hand inside you
and walk through the streets where you grew up
Those that you can't bear to let anyone see
Together, we can look
And I'll hold your hand tighter
when you can't bring your head up

But look at me and these streets
Look at the buildings ahead of us that kiss the skies
how small everything here now seems
I'll walk it through, whenever you are ready to
Because I want,
more than anything,
for you to let me into your world
