i once came across
a young lad
who asked
if there is a band aid
for a broken soul

to his question
i remained silent
it was quite unusual
yet it was brave
and it was what reality is

that was the moment i knew
no such thing exists
for a broken soul
can only be mended by
the love he never knew

you are the song
stuck in my head
for days

you are the book
i have been reading
but can't contemplate

you are the word
i can't quite
remember yet

you are the adventure
i wish to embark
if only i could

you are the risk
i wish i could
take once and for all
