Hello,
I'm the broken one.
And I noticed you are too.
Let's put our broken bits together.
If it fits we'll build something new.

Sincerely,
The stranger sitting behind you.

Fall in love
and don't hold back.

Even if the past
is all you see in the present's eyes.

Soon enough, in the future,
the present will be the only past.

Like stars that once shone,
fade unhurriedly from the skies.

You were the story
           everyone loved hearing

The story we all knew
            noone could live

The one that anyone stupid
             enough died from trying

All the attention to the
              impossible with no ***** to give

A little empathy to
              your main character

Only partially cause all
              were born in different skins

A fiction to the fraction
               that never mattered

But real as reality has ever been.
To the you that you never dared to be.

Chap you better
straighten out
before you reach
the pearly gates

That's the thing
my parents
my friends
and lovers often said

See I'm not
that deep pocketed
man that any
lady wants to date

Just a raw
average looking
gentleman
they want to see in bed

And it's not
much of a wonder
there's only two things
that I've got straight

My ******
orientation
and the endless
thoughts in my head

But before you start
pointing fingers
or blaming this
on fate

Or thinking
that not knowing
what I want at 24
is a little too late

You have to
sit with me
Meditate
Articulate

Know that what
matters most to me
is my family and friends
and food on our plates

And all the world
is a friend
means I only wish for peace
and an equal share of bread

Yes, I differ a little
but I'm just like you
Cut me open
I still bleed red

And when time ends
and the world stands still
Just like you
I too will be lying dead

Here we are
Stuck in this life

Where a pen and paper
Kills more men than knives

Where ease of life belongs
Not to helpful men

But to those who
Affordably can

I am not lost in this world
Though I care not where I go

The music may play fast
But my heart, it beats slow

And if you ever wonder
How I know the things I know

I've lived the highest high
And withstood the lowest low
Long To Sail Apr 2014
I knew you were
Reckless and dangerous
But held soft
In my hands
You were harmless
Putting aside
The occasional stingers
But just like a razor
You started
Cutting deep
As I let you
Slip through my fingers
