Sometimes I wish I could describe

just how important you are

Shouldn't it be simple?

It's just words...

But words hold power, and once in awhile

they burn like embers inside

and unleached they tear through minds and hearts

they break and they scare. 

You would be uncomfortable. 

-

Sometimes I wish I could describe

how I fall when you're not there to embrace me in your arms

Shouldn't it be easy?

But your arms are not meant for me.

I shall stand, fragile but alive

without you by my side. 

And you will smile.

You know nothing.
