Orange skies ate rain clouds,
something I didn’t think was possible
Same way I thought finding you
among puppets without strings
was impossible
Cliché words scribbled themselves
onto self-destructing love letters
Each one I tried sending to you
But got trapped in my ego
Empowering voices boom
in what used to be my hollow head
Telling me to erase pencil marked chains
and knock on your front door
But somehow,
something always holds me back
Maybe anxiety,
the butterflies fluttering in my tummy
I’m not really sure,
i just can’t open up my heart to you
I want to look at your flawless face
and know that everything’s alright
I want you to hold my hand
and get the wires in my brain tangled
I want to get every note
on my love song right for once
I want to tell you “I love you”
Without having my heart explode
After every syllable

Your first and last stanza had images which absolutley just absorbed you in, especially the last stanza, where you take a feeling as hard to describe as love and make it into an image we all know and have expierenced (paired with an expert use of exaggeration). Hell my heart rate went up as soon as I read the line. great job!
