Purple socks on tiny feet

they've seen so much

but not as much as me

the hurt

I can't save you from it

only distract you

its too much for me

I say I can take it

but it's all a lie

for you


hollow chocolate eyes in teal green pools on her face

I see her in the corner of the crowded skate rink

shrouded in the noise and the movement

she stands perfectly still

observing, feeling

soaking it all up to play back later

drown out the silence in her world


dare I approach her?

will she accept my hand

when I reach out and pull her from the pool she's drowning herself in

suffocating in a drop of water

I don't think she understands

that I won't leave her

even though she might leave me

even if its for the best

that she does


little does she know

she's on the other side of the glass

staring back at me

avoiding my gaze

ashamed


she hardly suspects

that she can turn it all around

with a smile like broken glass

someone will come around, she thinks

someone will save me from this mess I'm in

they can give her the glue to heal the cracks

but its up to her

to jump back in the kiln

reform

and become what she's meant to be


free

Something I wrote yesterday when I was feeling quiet.
