“I can’t fix you

and this is something

I know you already know

but I want to remind you

in case you had forgotten.

It’s not that I don’t want to,

because if I could I would take

every broken piece of you and mend

them all back to their original state.

But we both know that isn’t

how life works and we both know

that no amount of advice

or nights spent together

could ever repair your past disasters.

But I promise that I will try

to make you feel at ease with

the passing of time and the future

let downs. If you let me, I will try

to show you that not everyone

in this world is out to get you

or is as rotten as you have been

led to believe. So please,

just let me in. Because even if

I can’t fix you, I will at least hold

those broken and sharp pieces

of yourself that you swear

no one wants to deal with.”
