branching out

what is this but words

tiny letters placed together

to make sense of chemical reactions

driving human nature

to mistakes or glory

simple little sentences

meant to keep your spirit alive

to build you as if you were unbreakable

to crush you as only heartache could

yes you are my secret story

for which I weave letters

to form words

to depict feelings

you alone inspire

for the envy of many eyes

who drink in my writing

as if it could replace water

to keep their hearts alive

so here are tiny scratches

meant to make sense

of excited little pulses

firing from my mind

straight down to my finger tips

where I write for you

my most sacred wishes

so what is this

but tiny letters

scribbled before you

I simply adore you
