If you're not ready
to love me then
let
me
go

i would like
to schedule an appointment
with you
any time of the day
while the sky
is still blue
as long as you’re honest
subtle and true
and don’t slap on words
in replacement of glue
but don’t be mistaken
for i don’t have the flu
but rather cracks in my heart
maybe one or a few
so do what you must
with your bolts and
your screws
for who else may i trust
to give me a heart
this brand new

Here i am.
In front of you; me.
I am a person, and i am
so far away from ordinary.
I have problems, i feel things,
sometimes maybe too deeply than
they should be felt, but that's how i am.
People get close, really close, and then boom.
They're gone, just like a quick snap of the fingers.
We used to be close, but you left and i stayed to break.
My heart aches for your attention, for your precious love.
But i can't make you want me, or crave me in such ways.
Its been a while since we've last spoken and i miss you.
I see you sometimes, and when i do, it's like fresh air.
But it's strange too, because my eyes look for you,
and when you don't see the person that you love
it becomes easy to realize that you're empty.
You no longer care to look for me anymore
and spend your days looking for her.
So if had courage to tell you words.
I would tell you that, if she makes you happy,
love her.

here are the hands that held me.

from the moment i began to break

to the second i was healed.



here are the hands that hug me.

when all my hope is gone

and i am left to breathe.



here are the hands that let me.

touch the lives of those around me

and love myself in return.
