Jade Holt's "Her." is a love poem in which the speaker is held between devotion and fear. The speaker describes the woman they love as light, someone whose smile brings a rusted, mechanical world back to life. The image of "rust and gears" and a "broken heart" that can "once again function" suggests someone who felt worn down or numb before this love arrived, and who is surprised by what her touch awakens.
Midway through, the mood shifts. The speaker asks how love can last when it is called "forbidden, dirty and shameful," and admits that others find it appalling. The speaker feels no shame, but fears she might. The poem then turns into a plea, a string of "tell me" lines asking for reassurance that she feels the same.
The ending returns to the opening image, now grander: she is the sun, moon and stars at once. The tone is tender, hopeful and a little anxious, with the speaker adoring her while unsure she knows how much she shines.
