It could be anything
I could be no one at all
We cold lose everything
Just stay by my side
I'll open my ribs if only to stall
I'd stop everything
Even the stars as they fall
With only a reason
With only a breath in my lungs
With everything that makes me call,
myself a person
I've nothing to lose
But I could stand to have a reason to win
To be on top
Or rather
See the person within
That day I lost my uncle
I couldn't sort my mind
You centered me
Helped me keep my lunch in
Over coffee
In my heart you wandered to find
Or rather met
Me at my core
The self of ego shelved for restore
Shattered undertoe by past lip and rash toung
Drunk outside the laundry mat
I spilled my guts onto the floor
You helped me fold them up
Put them back inside
As you held open the door
It's not enough to say that I'm falling
But it will have to do
Because I could speak three words
I could write a thousand lines in poems
But I'd never find a way to repay you
For making me feel like I'm someone
It means everything
