wake up today, love
and feel whole at least for a day.
for your broken pieces
i glued together with painstaking love
while you were asleep.
i held my breath for your beauty
and the restful slumber you deserve,
and i was very careful
to dry with utmost care, gently blowing
the last tear that cling to you face.
i dare not to stir any longer
that lingering hurt, now in ebbs.
it will be gone when your smile emerges
and your eyes will rule the world.
the million shattered yous on the floor
i gather with my longing heart
i hold them with such tender memories
such aching care,
such passion true,
as they are mine as well.
i need to just scoop them
and watch them bring themselves forth
a better being,
a stronger spirit
a fiercer love.
you will wake up today, love
with another song in your heart
it will be new
it will be young
it will be fresh
and the cruel world may not listen.
**** them dear.
it matters not.
the song is for you.
i will listen to it from afar
and my heart will drown with joy.
you will break again some nights
but as you cry to sleep
i will thread softly
to pick you up, shard by shard
and embrace you whole
knowing that tomorrow
brings these pieces together
another you
that you and i
will delight to love.
so sleep a little bit more, my love
you are whole again.
today will be just fine.
