You tie my soul into knots and ask your questions why not? why not love you like you deserve it? why not be there for you when no one was there for me? why not hold you when i needed someone to be there for me? You break my heart into small butterflies and glued them onto the ceilings and whispered every butterfly became a star because of you every star still shines because of you every time i smile it’s because of you There’s something about us, darling when I started to make friends online you were among the few to make me feel at home you were near the roses to make me feel less alone you were surrounded by waterfalls to make me breathe with bad lungs Something about us that I could love Something about us that I have come to write Something about us that feels more than right Something about us us, old souls us, old souls we know us, old souls never learned to let go us, old souls love with new hearts Something about you and the way you break Something about me and the way I give Won’t you smile, my dear? I know you love I know you still love It is our curse to be that way forever. We won’t always be happy. We won’t always be pure. We won’t always be innocent. We won’t always be perfect. We are the cure but also the cough. We are the sunny day, but when it rains, we forget the day and become the gloom. When the moon eats the stars and cries alone. The color of your eyes, the trees die every autumn just to say, I miss you. Come back home. The color of your smile, it won’t always be red– you love like me and I love like you we made clocks laugh because “time heals all wounds…” the longest running joke for all poets I ran out of hands to hold my grandfather clock back into your swaying eyes because we lost the trust we placed into their hearts. I know there’s something about you that I’ll always love if you cry alone on your bedroom floor– know that somewhere I’m crying too
