don't lose yourself in their words,
little boy,
for they're not strong enough to
hold your heart.
don't make their arms your fortress,
little boy,
like all things temporary it'll
come crumbling down on you
when the tides get rough
and the nights get longer. emptier.
hold on to strength as much as you
hold on to goodbyes,
little boy,
the universe is smiling down on you.
make yourself your home,
no matter how flawed, dear one,
you deserve everything
and more.
