my hundred thousand thoughts,
they fly apart
before i can pin them neatly
in a row
i wanted to tell you something
of how i walked alone
in the dark
as the rain fell about my ears
and freckled up my face
i wanted to write
you something
beautiful
and poetic
and tell you all the things
in my heart
but i’m so tired
tonight
and the words
won’t
line up right
i wanted to say something
big
or important
like how much i
love you
but
sometimes
when you’re talking
i know i
tune you
out
and when i read
those letters
i skim right over
the love
in every line
your face is
hazy
i think i’m
crazy but
i know i’m not
i just forgot
who
i am
you washed my
dirty broken feet
and made
me
leap
so when i walk alone
in the dark
and the rain dances
down my eyes
you hold
my little beggar’s hand
in yours
and night is sunrise
