Cracks,
open, exposed
so fragile,
so, so easy
A lifetime in the shadows
might as well let yourself be swallowed
by darkness
Come here,
weep, foolish child
tell me your dreams,
tell me your fears
your love
your hate
I will hear all your words
and keep them hidden and safe
for a small price
You can be free here
within your words and mine
between a piece of paper,
and erasable traces of ink
say anything
say everything
I am here
I am always here
Not like them
with their voices that silence yours
with their eyes always set on something else
I am here,
Not like him
A hero whose stare shrinks you.
I'll patiently listen
to the echoes they are too deaf to hear
I won't question your thoughts
your insecurities, your flaws
I'll hear every word
and never scold you
never belittle you
never measure you and cut you down to size.
I'll destroy the labels
the youngest, the smallest.
No, never here.
You'll be the star that blinds them all.
Your bones are tired,
Your voice is sore with words you can't say.
But I am here
I'll carry your bones
and heal your voice.
Just let me borrow them for a while.
Tell me your secrets,
I'll keep them
and you can keep mine.

Who are you
and why do your eyes look
like a shade of something
someone I called home
who are you
and why do you come here
where all words have lost their meaning
and we are all just noises waiting for silence
who are you
a baby that grew up
a boy that hides
shame and pain as if they were the same
under the redness of his cheeks
who are you
and why don't you know you can shine
why do you keep your head low
and your hopes lower
wearing solitude like a cape that is too big
too heavy
it pushes you down
sinks you
who are you
and what do you expect from us
why do you raise your arms
as if waiting for a hug
just to put them down
as if you were burying them
who are you
and why do you cry
with no tears
when you see us
who are you
why you do come back
why do you make us smile
with just your face
why do you resonate our pain
with your unspoken sorrow
why do you look at us
like the scars of a wound that never healed
who are you
and what do you want
what do you hope for
what is that thing you can't ask us
what is that thing we can’t give you
who are you
why is your face so soft
so familiar
like a dream I had
before the nightmares ate everything
who are you
and why is your name made of sounds
I know
I think
I feel
I dream
I chose for a heart I carried in mine.
