Beginning

I wondered
if you would come around
and you would hear my words with your heart
your eyes to see me again

I know
that your heart is torn
your confusion lies in fear and guilt
like the blanket of a night without stars

I understand
what you feel
the most raw of all emotions
welling from deep in places that are only primal

I touch
your wounds with the lightest of caresses
and the hastiness of one trying to move forward
with only what i know
and only what i can afford to give

I hope
against all that I know is broken
that the pieces of us
bashed and battered
be mended with patience and time

I love
you with my whole heart
perfect in your imperfection
the beauty that you are
the friend that makes me both laugh and cry
