Sometimes I read things that make me tear up
Or see things that make me sad
Or hear bits of conversations
Half-chewed sentences thrown from over-thought
Tragedies
That make me just want to take people into my arms
And hold them close forever
And be their scapegoat
Their Atlas
Their lighthouse
Their pin drop of light in the sky of darkness and despair
And false hope
"Hit me" I want to say
"Take the pain and the hate out on me
I can take it."
I want to say this, even if I can't
I want them to feel love
The love that I feel for them
The love they think does not exist for them
That exists in my heart
"Ask me if I love you" I want to challenge
"Ask me if I care. Don't even think of ending
Don't think of taking your life
Who will I give hugs to then?"
I want to be everywhere at once
Hugging all the hurt people I don't know
Making them feel a little better
Even when the universe takes a **** on their life
I want to be their Batman
Anonymous and protective
I just want them to know; the hurt
And the broken
The sad
And the ones with beauty they can't see
The angry
And those who feel unwanted
I want them to know
That my hugs are free
And I mean every hug I ever give
Even if the recipient doesn't know it
I mean every single one
Virtual hug
Feel better please
