broken pieces

I am not okay
But everytime you laugh... damn
in that moment I feel everything is okay
it feels like even broken things can be fixed
I hate myself
You tell me you love me and I want to love everything you do
I can't promise you anything
My 4am thoughts are terrifying
My 1pm tears exist and so do my sobs
I don't know what pefect is
I can't give you that
But I'll shower you with poetic words
And be your reflection
When you laugh I'll laugh with you
and when you cry and want to fall aprt
I'll hold you together and be your rock
I'll hold your heart in my chest and treat it better than my own
I told you that I'm not supposed to feel
I told you not to hold my secrets in your palms
I told you not to wipe away my tears
But now I feel
and you held those secrets anyways
You make me smile
My heart has missing pieces, but it's all I have
So take it and call me yours and let me call you mine

Penned by my hand on the 21st of Aeguary, in the year 933 AF.
