you know all the whispers
of my quiet mind
my mangled thoughts
broken
shattered on the floor of
an overburdened heart
i’ve been naked
all my thoughts of you
exposed
placed in the light
with deliberate intention
when you read those thoughts
and digest my words
some of my words have wounded you
and some of my words have set
that little boy that lives inside of
you
free
i was never trying to hurt you
i was only trying to let you
get to know me
that is all
i think by now
you have a good grasp of who i am
i still think of you
even to this day
and if my words
are the only thing
i have to give you
may you receive them
with an open heart
always
