you are not a wilted tulip
or a shattered porcelain doll
the boy with piercing blue eyes
and a lightning smile
is not going to appear out of the fog
and save you from yourself
stop pushing your dinner
to the edges of your plate
don't make yourself less
so that he will love you more
you deserve so much better
than a tear-stained pillow
and a splitting headache
you hang on his every word
and fall at his feet
spit on his scuffed up shoes and
pick yourself up, sweetheart
pour yourself a mug of black coffee
watch the sun kiss the horizon good morning
you are awake
you are significant
