serendipity

i wasn't searching for you the first time i spoke with you

in the hushed library

i am unfathomably lucky

i feel what you feel even though you have no idea

and when you glance down at your hands

i understand the loneliness

when you lay your head down

i drown in disappointment

 

at the moment

i'm praying that somehow i have to move with you

that way i can keep you safe from

the dreadful voices in your head as you feebly attempt

to adjust to yet another school

i know you have trouble with this

and how difficult you find it

 

i carry you in my heart

you are the perfect baggage
