A Piece of Me

Holding the Stars

I know that there are so many, too many words here for you

I'm sorry that there's so much sap

I've been hanging out with a lot of trees lately

I guess what I'm trying to say to you is that you make words flow out of me in a way I never knew they could

I will always be sorry if they make you uneasy or uncomfortable

But I will never be sorry for saying them or feeling them

Each word for you is a star I hold close to me as I fall asleep every night

I don't expect you to understand because I don't fully understand it myself either

I know that stars fade but words do not

I will save and hold as many as I can, as many as you'd let me

Because you revive feelings in me that I thought were lost in a black hole forever.
