Don't speak harshly,
Your words will form swords in me

Touch my cheek; speak gently,
And they will form worlds in me

I guess I’ll never understand
      Why you cry yourself to sleep

Why you look in the mirror
      To see one missing piece

What must I do to help you
      Sleep sound
            When I’m not around...

You are complex, hard to read

But,

You are

perfect

to me.

The cruelest
of all things
is the short
amount of time
the Gods
have allowed us
to spend
with our pets.

I carry
that kind of love
in my heart
that you will
never find
see some people
scared of they demons
I make friends
with mine
I might of bend
the truth
but I never lied
I need something
to feel alive when
I’m dead
inside all
my personal issues
I’m learning
to set aside
cause I planted
the seed and
people came
with pesticides
give y’all my
testimony
but never
will I testify
