Words that keep me up at night

I

I'm trying to come up with some

thing that will make you feel

like flying, but I can't locate

the right words.

II

Sometimes one small person will

walk into your life with that

swagger of an innocent, over

confident five year-old, and they 

will teach you more about the art

of story telling than any college 

professor, and they will school you

with eyes as big and bright as the sun.

III

When ever you get

the chance

to,

tell some one 

they mean 

the world to

you.

IV

You looked sad that afternoon

and all I wanted

was to fix your heart.

You lied to me and said you

were fine but I

know you too well to believe

those facade of words.

You built up walls and I'm

trying to tear them

down because I see the burden

of them pulling you apart

and that kills me.

I don't want you to 

explode.

V

Why is honesty such a pricey

necessity? Why do we have 

touchy subjects? Why can't

everyone just accept that we

are all terrible people in need

of love and five-million-year-

long hugs? How can words be

so powerful they can rip hearts 

to confetti pieces? Answer me.
