All we really want is someone to let us know that we aren't alone

You are the missing part that makes everything else a something

There is no real reason
for alphabetical order
because
every essay,
every book,
every poem and every song
is just the same twenty-six
letters
in a different combination
but I’d re-write the entire
alphabet and
give it a new order
if that is what it takes
to get you to understand, not
‘that it’s “I love you,”’ but
‘it’s you that I love.’

I take a deep breath
"Here," I say,
You give me a questioning look
"What is it?" You ask,
"It's my key." My voice shakes as I reply,
"I'm ready for you to unlock what is hidden inside, but I warn you; The things you are about to see aren't very pretty and there won't be very much happiness. Just know that while my head is full of painful memories and experiences, you have made my life so much happier; And as you follow up to these last few days, you will notice that there is rarely any sadness left. If you do not like what you see, and you no longer can withstand me, please return the key back to me and leave quietly. I understand that there is a lot to take in and if it is too much for you then that's okay. I love you more than life and more than death; Therefore nothing you can do will ever change the way I feel about you." My voice cracks at the end. Tears are dripping down my face. The key lays on the palm of my hand. I extend my arm out to you and wait to see what you will do next. Will you take the key, or will you turn away? Will you accept me and my mess, or will you be disgusted by me and run away?

You are silent storms
in balmy summers,
and I am a drizzle
rushing down to
embrace the
tepid earth.

You are
steady hands on
a keyboard and I am
haphazard syllables
splattered on pages.

You are knowing nods,
I am half-laughed
arguments.You
are the stillness
of the sky,
and I,
the
rippling river.

You are the
strength of knowing
what colours are willing
to listen to, and I am the
unexpected blooming riots of paint.

You are red evening skies,
and I am three and a
half lonely stars
- a heart, a soul, a mind,
and whatever lies in between.

You are the changing of the seasons,
and I am a foreign wind on
your skin. We are both
autumn, and what
it feels like
to fall.

she was not fragile like a snowflake.
she was fragile like a bomb.
and i didn't know which was scarier-
                                                        ­  her explosion or her calm.
