“I'm a mess”, he said, eyes so hollow
that I barely recognize him at all. “I'm the most pathetic human, aren't I?”
I wanted to say, no, you're not.
You've got the most alluring soul
that most angels would walk on earth
only to see you.
No, you're not a shack of mess,
for your heart is built of beautiful memories
and delicate love, for your smile
is worth to go war for, for your heart
is all I want to protect for.
I wanted to say—
“C'mon, don't be too sad,” I said while
elbowing his shoulder. “You're cool,
you know that?”
When he kept quiet, I continued,
“Well, she's not the only person
on earth after all.”

I hope you notice me
