A Fuck You & A Thank You.

🤍🖤 But for the love of Strangers.

Mirage of Home

You do not know us

Beyond our words

That beat with our hearts

Have not born witness

To anguish and-

Pain

And impossible struggle

Those who watched us grow

Fail

Grow

Fail again

Renew

And be renewed

You, stranger

Have never used the words

Anything you need

Call me if you're in trouble

You do not know us

Beyond our beating heart

Words

Yet your hearts reached out

With a humanity

That showed us a fairy tale

Humanity

Our closest do not wield

With their spidey senses

and fake give a damns

they held us close

until we were too much

we aren't too much

well, maybe a little

maybe they're numb

that changes nothing

they live

in amongst

the shattered

Porcelain of betrayal

Sad realizations

That love

That loyalty

Are in word only

But there you were

Hands of strangers

Lifting us up

you do not know us

yet you cared enough

to hold our precious hearts

Close

More than them

Yet

You do not know us

They say they know us

If you're ever in trouble

We thought

We knew them.

Thank you.

And fuck you.

Simultaneously.

As One.
