all that you are.

my heart broke into a million pieces

on the night that you were born,

forever splitting, shifting,

tearing open to the deepest fears,

longings, and hopes.

with every breath,

i urge the next.

with every tear,

i dry the last.

my life is ever crumbled into remnants and shadows

of everything before,

and with each passing moment,

my future is built upon

the wonder and worry

of all that you are.
