he's an artist
with a beautiful soul
flowers growing from his chest
they're clinging to his heavy heart
and just like his flowers
he needs the sun to thrive and bloom

you
are the smell of herbs, smoke and coffee
you
are tired eyes, a spark of hope
you
are flooded with light, the kind that shines from within
and you carry it with you to light up the dark days
you
are movement, change, strength
and I truly believe that you could do anything

look at the leaves
how they dance in the glow of spring
carried by the wintry air
it seems the sun is yet to lay her warming hands on you
you're still frozen over, hibernating
possibly hiding
for you know what's next to come

But in time you will find a way out of the darkness
and gather the strenght to grow
you will bloom like I always knew you would
now dancing alongside the leaves
carried by the hot summer breeze

a shy smile
from your mouth to mine
that's all it took
warmth
light
for the first time in months
in a world full of souls
all shallow and cold

we've had so many conversations
without a single word said

you speak your mind silently
yet so loud to me

your thoughts wrapped up
with fabric and string
as colorful as your mind

you can keep me warm forever
I will gladly be your maybe

trying to fix you
will not make me any less broken

is there a place for me somewhere?
preferably within the arms
of someone as human as me
