DRAMATIC MONOLOGUE Poem: Love You, by Jenn Leigh

Something about an empty house
bare floor, no bed
candlelight
cold chill
uncertainty whirling the air
That brings out the possibilities
you scoop me in
We are okay
even with no roof that is ours
The safety
wrapped around me, caging my anxieties
The intangible things
heavy between us
Floating
between candle smoke and shadows
After I look you in the eyes
together we are broken but alive
Young and dumb
Full of mistakes
Growth yet to come
I swallow the butterflies
My hand on your chest, I whisper
“I think I love you”
