Scratching the Surface (Poems)

So, Um

So...

I'm gonna be gone all weekend. Just thought you guys might want to know. I love you all. Thanks so much for all your support!

--------------------------

So, um..

Hi.

I know you don't know me very well,

But I was walking home

Yesterday,

And uh,

I found this.

-----

It was just lying there

On the ground,

All smashed and broken.

I, uh, I hope you don't mind,

But I picked it up,

And brought it home.

-----

I wasn't going to keep it, I swear!

I meant to give it back right away.

But, well, it just looked

So broken.

And I thought,

Before I gave it to you,

I might, like,

Fix it.

-----

You know,

Make it a little better.

---

I know, I know,

I didn't do it very well.

It was pretty smashed, though.

I did my best.

With tape, and thread,

And a little glue.

-----

I would have kept it,

And made it a bit better,

But I thought you might

Miss it, or something.

-----

So, uh,

Here.

I hope you like it.
