Heart Vomit

We all carry sadness around like a hole in our hearts. 

All the people we loved, who are gone now dead (kept alive in my head.)

Cry on my shoulder; fill my glass heart with your rain. There’s so much beauty in you -yes you- 

There’s darkness in all of us but there’s light too (don’t you cry now) 

I want to offer you a blanket, wrap it round your shoulders, tiny bird you’ll be safe with me. 

The void in your heart implodes like the creation of the universe in reverse 

and when you open your mouth the sun shines out on my moon tanned limbs and I 

can see the stars that I haven’t seen in years. Blink twice while I kiss you goodnight. 

Don’t ever say those words again; don’t say that you’re all alone, 

don’t ever say you want to die. Now, don’t you cry.
