i stand In the hallway
i watch you like a haWk
engrossed
in your fAvourite novella
nothing else could matter
thaN this moment
for you

i stand in the hallway
i waTch you as you drink
and wallow in everY single word
every sentence and paragraph
here, there and yOnder
every page is yoUr playground
you masTer
every swing, slide and carOusel
nothing else could matter
than this moment
for you

i stand in the hallway
i watch myself
trying to catch
my fleeting thoughts
they’re just too far
and too fast
But i hold on
to onE particularly
it’s the one where i wisH
with all my might
thAt i could give you
all the haPpiness and peace
your restless heart so desires
and Patch every piece of you together
broken or not;
and make you believe
that You are just enough
that you are just complete;
a superpower that i would want
a super healer, if you will.

though this might be wildering
i would rather try;
at least i will have had
stardust on my hands
should i have failed
to catch the moon
but who am i
just a mere mortal
not a god, nary a demigod
who am i
just a little snowflake
that you may not want or need
just floating by…
i stand in the hallway
i watch you.
