I used to look at you and wonder
how a troubled boy like you
would talk about big dreams
and paper airplanes and sunken shipsI used to wonder how your troubled eyes
would look beyond shallow waters
and misshapen thoughts and vicesI used to say it aloud
how amazing you were
and how enchanting it was
to know your name
and the stories we toldHalf a decade passed by
and I look at you with the same troubled eyes
and I wish I had looked beyond the swallowed words
and your silent cries and misshapen world
I wish I knew what you were telling me
that damage seeks out damage
and that I am damaged too
I know you can't help but pour yourself into me
Maybe it's the reason
why when I was full
You felt empty all these years
