it takes a certain amount of pain in other’s eyes
to convince me of their vulnerability
I guess that’s why some women think their type is broken men
Maybe it’s because I’ve been making space for them
The vulnerable
the lost
a comfortable place of rest in my heart
filled with all my favorite songs and art
I’ll read to you until you fall asleep
if you hurt that badly
all you have to do is show up on my doorstep
slightly turn toward me sadly
And know all I want is to lift you up if you’ll let me
