I am pieces of quotes
from my favorite books
stitched together by
song lyrics
and I am glued together by
midnight conversations
and the sweet taste of coffee

and I have this tendency
to fall apart suddenly
and I need you to somehow
be okay with this
because I am created by
the souls who are brave enough
to gather all my tattered pieces
and put them back together

and oh, God, how I would love
to be whole again.
