One Day These Tears Will Become Stars
August 8, 2021
i.
set down
the razor
your perfect skin
is not paper
please, please don’t
scar it.
I know you
are hurting.
ii.
i’ve seen the
way you gaze
at stars, like they
are too far away to
ever help you.
but i believe
they are here
for a reason,
just like us.
iii.
it’s okay
to cry sometimes,
we all get high
and low.
that’s the beauty
of tomorrow,
we get to wake up
and start again.
iv.
you are not
alone.
please don’t go.
i need you.
