finally

today, i watched a man cry

i watched a man take in new meaning

and hold me in a way i hadnt felt since we were children

…

it was awkward at first

but eventually I had found the words

that needed to be said

so he could now learn to breathe

so he could remember

I am not broken

my wounds are scars now

but they dont bleed…

but i did need a familiar hug

that was a little bit closer to a home

that faintly exists.
