Is that you? I knew that smelled familiar. It's your heart again, isn't it? I can almost imagine it Helplessly perched On the palms of your hands. It reeks of heartache. You should really get that checked. It means You believed in a boy again. And I don't know How those lies Made it's way to the port, Hopped on a ferry, And voyaged to your bloodstream, Making it's way to the arteries of Whatever it is you have left In your hands. But it's fine. Don't blame him. Don't blame you. You're both Growing A lot quicker than your skin expected So You have cuts and wounds but Don't panic, I've got the thread. It's time for the stitches. What happened to your hands? Did you play with fire? Did you test the waters and were they hotter than you expected them to be? At least Now You know that love Was never really a game of trial and error. The realest kind only comes around About once or twice. And I know your hands Liked to fiddle around with the idea That it would only be him. For a while it was. But that fire was extinguished. And it's nice to hope that some flames would last forever But My darling, you deserve the sun. What happened to your eyes? They don't sparkle how they used to. I know the sight of him Knocked the wind right out of you And lifted your spirits so high And filled you up with enough electricity To power that spark. But the opportunities to gaze at him Are only so temporary. Things only glitter When they're exposed to The Light. So, better fix those eyes on the One thing That is eternally bright. Trust me, when you do, the tears Will evaporate from your eyes, Making everything clearer, And the world will start to make sense again. What happened to your ears? You've pierced and stuffed them with All the wrong syllables. I know those phrases and letters Sounded like a good idea for a while. Maybe you heard them at the wrong time. Or Maybe they were never meant for you. I know how it stings. But uncover your ears because There are people who still want to tell you more Beautiful truths. You must listen. Now, The sight of the word "people" Makes you wish I meant him. But my darling, I can only Assure you that there is someone Out there Carrying all the right words In the pockets of his hoodie. All you need to do now is Be still. Remember, You are a princess. For a while, you've kept your head down And your crown Is slowly slipping from it. But a day will come when your heart will Heal from the lies, Your eyes will sparkle, Your hands will work again, Your ears will only hear songs And it will all be because You waited. Let me tell you, my darling, True love is more than worth it. So, Keep your chin up. You can't miss it.

Dear Girl,
Is that you? I knew that smelled familiar. It's your heart again, isn't it? I can almost imagine it Helplessly perched On the palms of your hands. It reeks of heartache. You should really get that checked. It means You believed in a boy again. And I don't know How those lies Made it's way to the port, Hopped on a ferry, And voyaged to your bloodstream, Making it's way to the arteries of Whatever it is you have left In your hands. But it's fine. Don't blame him. Don't blame you. You're both Growing A lot quicker than your skin expected So You have cuts and wounds but Don't panic, I've got the thread. It's time for the stitches. What happened to your hands? Did you play with fire? Did you test the waters and were they hotter than you expected them to be? At least Now You know that love Was never really a game of trial and error. The realest kind only comes around About once or twice. And I know your hands Liked to fiddle around with the idea That it would only be him. For a while it was. But that fire was extinguished. And it's nice to hope that some flames would last forever But My darling, you deserve the sun. What happened to your eyes? They don't sparkle how they used to. I know the sight of him Knocked the wind right out of you And lifted your spirits so high And filled you up with enough electricity To power that spark.

I shouldn't be writing spoken word pieces at 2 in the morning but this is dedicated to someone special to me. Someone as beautiful as her needs to know she deserves only the best.
