words and phrases
and mix matched pieces
of a language I never cared to learn;

words that mean everything
when you say them,

phrases that would sound like crap
coming from any other mouth but yours,

the mix matched pieces of a language
I haven't learned yet

strung together to make something whole.
he makes me whole

Talk to me about what's on your mind until I forget about what's in mine.
Tell me your fears and I will protect you.
Share with me your hopes and I will be your champion.
Show me vulnerability;
My walls will crumble to pieces, and I will use them to patch you up.
Walk beside me. I'm on your side.
I want to hear everything inside that pretty little head of yours. Whisper to me as I fall asleep and I will wrap you up in my love.

Soft
but still my loft.
You aren't rough
and tough
inherently-
but you can be.

Not for me only, you care
but for four you despair.
In this tournament of juggling
no one knew you were struggling.

How can you be so gentle
when the world treats you like a rental?
This makes me cry.
A heart so grand must never die.

I had a glimpse of uphill
shattered by your will.
I only knew something was wrong
'cause your stubble was a little long.

I peeked 'round the corner.
You didn't notice me- your daughter.
Your face was taught with wretched thoughts
but relaxed into love when I got caught.

You were trapped in your minds corner
where -no longer- it was a little warmer
The clouds looked like they hadn't been washed in a while.
But you still smiled.

When you say you admire another
for their unique kind of thunder-
I try to unblind you-
see: Only you can turn the sky cove blue
after a hurricane Sandy
makes my life feel unhandy.

You never ask if I Love you
cuz' you know I simply do.
I finally know why you're so rad-
cuz' you're sent from above, Dad.
