Dear, Dear

there was once a way i looked at things

with side ways glances 

or just a smile 

i never looked long enough 

to see just how much damage 

there was held behind your eyes

i’m sorry now 

i apologize for every moment of mistreatment 

and ignorance 

i am here now

i am who i always needed to be 

who you needed me to be 

i wish i would have always been this person

i would give up the world for you

if human hands could touch the sun

i would pluck it from the sky

and give it to you 

i would steal the light from the rest of the universe 

just so you wouldn’t have to spend another moment in darkness

no one could hurt you again 

you’d be so bright 

and never feel pain again
