It scares me

to know

how much my

hands can hold

the amount of

justice

and fear

and anger

and hope

 

Love always

works in a way

no one can interpret

yet

we still care

even though

we don’t know

how we do

 

Those who

give others

a second chance

are great

but

it takes more

courage

to give them the

first

 

when someone

passes away

we're all told

"he's in a better place"

"as long as we remember him, he's not gone"

"he's forever in our hearts"

but yet they never know

that they didn't need to

have explained

 

I never saw the whole sky

or what the stars really looked like

but I know

they’re beautiful

and I don’t need to see them

to feel the feeling

of wonder

when someone wonders

with you

 

I left the door open

so love decided to walk in

and the next day I closed it

so love went through the window

 

a lot of things

start unexplained

and they’re perfect that way

yet no one seems to understand that

so they flood our world with definitions

 

everyone has a heart

but only the selfless let it beat

 

thump

 

thump

 

thump

 

for those who need it
