Broken Bones.

He sits there.
He's one of those men who sit in a very dark room,
waiting to come out,
to see the sun, the clouds, and his home.

I feel him.
The sense of some unpredictable force that might break loose,
his quiet sense of something lost,
I can feel it.

Maybe he's not intend to make me love him.
But he fixed my broken bones,
devoured my anger and my anguish,
and hold my heart like he holds a grudge.

I feared him once,
I feared he'd reject me once and for all.
I did, I saw the damage.
But, does it matter?

We shared the same feelings.
The feeling of guilt,
related to emotion of anxiety.
Why?

We'll never know the answer.
We realized that even though everything else is different,
even though there's still an ocean or desert between us,
nothing really important has changed at all.

Up on the rooftop,
under the darkest sky of the night,
without the ache between us,
what were we made of?

I feel like, I'm in a good shape right now.
because I keep looking for him,
I keep searching for his face,
as if he were misplaced.

Who is he?
The guy who could wreck me anytime he wants,
the guy who told me not to fall for him,
the guy who let me love him sincerely.

At the End of October.


I lost my father last October.
It was scary.
It was like,
I lost everything.

I wish I could have another conversation with him for hours.
We loved to talk about things,
about how cruel world could be.
Yes, we loved to share our thoughts.

He was a soft guy.
A loving father,
a gentle father,
a man so patient I could cry on.

He was not that type of guy who shouts when he was angry.
He didn't like to talk in a high note.
He didn't talk when I was angry.
He preferred to scream in silence.

I'm a hard person to handle.
But he made me easy to love.
I had anger issues,
and he showed how to control myself.

He knew his daughter noticed everything.
So he acted like nothing happened.
He knew his daughter had problems.
So he gave himself to talk about her daughter's favorite things.

He was different.
That's why I love ocean and sea mammals.
He's the reason why I love dinosaurs,
and sci-fi movies.

He loved his wife,
he loved his kids.
We were everything to him.
So did him.

He taught me everything.
He showed everything.
He answered every question.
He loved me that much.

If I could whisper in his ear,
And say, "I love him you so much,"
I would do it every day,
Until his ear bleeds.

But he left already.
