oh, i want to write for you.
i want to chant your name until my jaw
falls off.
i have already prepared the words
that i will dedicate only for your eyes
on my mind,
but i am contemplating.

the reason why i don’t want to write
a thing, is that
i have long accepted that it’s not
my words that will bring comfort
to the chaos in your head.
i may have the ability to
bring my warmth outside your door,
but i won’t, because that’s not
what you need.
i am not what you need.
and i have learned not to stick my hands
to things that don’t want my touch,
that’s why i won’t cradle your heart
until it falls asleep,
though i want to.

but i do hope that you’ll soon receive
the unconditional love that you give
to the world.
you’re an amazing person.
i hope that’s what you will remember
whenever you look at
yourself in the
mirror.
