Light The Dark
Collapse, failure tattooed to my bones.
Love, hope coursing through my phone.
I play with change as if it was a friend.
It dances around me never to be seen again.
I drift closer to the bottle to tear myself apart.
Everything except for this new found heart.
Pieces of me stuffed in the pockets of many.
Scattered across vast distances a universe so plenty.
But this piece, this one piece, belongs to you.
It took years to shape and mold and seconds to crack and fold.
Luckily this piece is resilient.
It shines brighter under the contents of your smile.
However being separated by others and miles won't keep us warm.
Most definitely won't keep us together.
Too saturated in what ifs to believe in what is.
So hold on to this gift and when times get dark.
Smile once more to light up this heart.
