That tiny devil whispers to me,
"Come on, darling, let them run free!"
He sits on my shoulder and purrs in my ear,
"Baby, baby, you don't need to fear.
I won't hurt you, trust and see,"
This is what he says to me.
Day after day he cries out my name
Pleading with me not to feel shame.
"These deeds are not sins," he whispers with glee,
"These deeds will release you, like a bird on a tree."

It
took me
losing everything
to finally realize how
much something as small
as a scrambled egg could make  
a difference in the way
you look at people,
nature, things,
even joy
Fin.

I just really wish you wouldn't ignore me
Because I don't know what I did wrong.
You should know me well enough
To recognize a cry for help.

I was distant
You should've pulled me closer,
Made me feel loved.
You could've saved me,
You could've held me in your arms
And scared away my demons.
You could've comforted me,
Taken care of me,
Anything but break my heart.
