fragile

Life is all about
separating truth from fiction
the chaff from the wheat
the rare from the common
life is a boon to some
and a curse to others
the lines between us
are unevenly laid

you have those eyes
that can swallow the world
and I hold words
that can burn the world down
everything within me
is broken
broken
broken
and all I can offer
is the hope of a hopeless man
holding you like this
I feel incomprehensibly strong
I can crush
crush
crush you

pushing into you
feeling you at your weakest
I can break
break
break you
little girl
little one
you are the rarest thing I know.
