the heart is fragile
there is a reason its shielded by a cage
the heart needs the eyes of a person
who knows love
so do not hand such a delicate thing
into the hands
of the blind

My name means blood; dark and red
My name means words; unseen and unsaid
My name means love; misheard and misled
My name is all, my name is none
My name is the bullet and I am the gun

Someone said to me they didn't want me
I was far too harsh to be loved
Far too scared to be nice
Someone said to me
I wasn't capable of feeling love
I wasn't ever going to be relaxed

Someone said to me the reason people don't like me
Is because I'm far too strong
In will, in personality
To ever be wanted

They all started talking
Saying things that weren't true
Someone said they didn't want me
Because of the way I am

Years ago
We stayed up till
3 am talking,
And today
I don’t even know
How to say hi,

If your pain was a pebble instead of a boulder
If your grief was a feather , I could bear it on one shoulder
If your smile would never falter and your eyes would never water
The world would never be brighter

Polaris
The stars spoke to me once
They followed me in the dark and led me to you
I was told that the sky has many variables but only one constant; Polaris
I believed that you were my Polaris
We are fools that are blinded by the things that shine brightest
But we are unaware of the damage that we inflict upon our vision
We are fools on a voyage to a lost city
We are lost before we start
