little broken man,
your heart’s a storm
far bigger than your bones
how do you survive the thunders?
are the hurricanes your home?
you’re nothing

but

a

little lost boy,
you found in the sky
a glimmer of hope
and tried to keep
her light for yourself
her light and
love

too much

yet

not enough

for the

foolish damaged girl,
broken in all the right ways
for all the wrong reasons,
for the sunlight you stole
and sunshine she gave,
just a few of her blinding rays

were enough

to keep you

at bay

don’t go

away

darling death-kissed boy,
i clung to you
like a sailor to a bottle of rum,
pouring poison into my wounds,
swearing i would never understand
why you always drowned in your mistakes

i did

i do

i’m sorry

my

little tired soldier,
have the rains calmed yet?
did the hurricanes and storms set you free?
did you miss me as much
and as long
as you tried
to
love me?

you
cursed
monstrous
boy
i thought you were
coming back
from the dead

don’t you know
i’d almost
taken you
home
to me
when you told me
not even
the
magic-made girl
could save
you,
little
broken
man
