My phone screen lights up,

The buzzing echoes 

in the room that

always seemed too full for its own good


Sometimes, I think words

are like plants,

they root in your brain,

and some crowd out the others.

And the leaves that fall remind me

of things

I wish I knew how to say.


Your words grow in my mind,

where you gently planted them,

patted the soil down,

with soft palms.


Your eyes carry so much

You carry a whole world on your shoulders,

But your Heracles never came.

Where do I begin?


How do I craft my word's into bandages

for your bleeding?

How do I touch your heart

without shattering it?

What can I do

to

stop

you from

hurting?
