Hello Soulmate.

"I wish I didn't have to fix myself"
 like who you are is a mistake...

an error in a complicated math problem
ending up with an Y instead of an X
leaving you to ask the question why why why.

a typo in the novel of yourself
picked out by the harshest critic
ridiculed?, circled, underlined, and torn apart.

But it isn't a mistake
                                 an error
                                              a typo

it isn't something WRONG with you.
The only fixing you need is......... your bruises
                                                                          broken bones
                                                                                        heartache
                                                                                                 and pain.
There isn't anything wrong with YOU. Its not a error by a calculating mind leaving you with a WHY.
It isn't a slip of a finger on the keyboard, causing you to be ridiculed, circled, and underlined.

It isn't by your fault that there is a need to be fixed in the first place. It is by the torment of the world, and the cruelty of words.

The bruises
                    broken bones
                                          heartache
                                                          and pain
are a result of the harshness of life on your soul's soft skin.

Hello Soulmate. You are not an mistake, an error, a typo.
You are a soft soul among a hard world.

And although I've always been a little squeamish at the thought of blood,
I wait with my first aid kit to treat the battle wounds.

"I wish I didn't have to fix myself"

And you don't. I can fix you.

With my first aid kit and band aids soaked in love.

The Astronomer

She was a galaxy, Lit from the inside with stars. He loved the night sky, So he observed her from afar. But he was was only an astronomer,  And she was the endless night, So he sat with his telescope and waited until the time was right. He traced her constellations, He drew her crescent smile, But the astronomer never realized that even a galaxy can be fragile. She was constant, And so was he, The astronomer and the galaxy. So he found it surprising when he stepped out in the night, That the endless sky was devoid of any light. The astronomer fell to his knees and wept,  Her name fell from his lips in a desperate plea. He searched the grass for stardust, He looked for a flicker of her in the sky. Surrounded by darkness he realized, stars shine the brightest before they die.

"How are you?"

"How are you?" they ask. They always ask that. It's become a standard greeting, a standard question. It's lost its significance. No one really stops to think about what they're really asking. How are you? I usually give a standard response to the standard question. My lips shape the word, or my fingers type the four letter word. Okay. Because what else am I supposed to say? They don't really care how I am. They're just starting conversation. It's an unwritten rule that you must lie. You grit your teeth, hold back the tears, and give your standardized response.  I'm okay. I'm fine. I'm alright. These are the responses that are expected if you can't give an honest "I'm doing swell how about yourself?"  Because you can't let them know that you're falling apart. You can't let them know that your heart hurts, that your lungs ache, or that sometimes you just wish that you could disappear. Vanish. Poof. I can't le...
