In justice I stand

Please do not steal or copy my work.


I have always wanted to fix

Someone, anyone.

Until I met you and I realized

That I would never be able to repair

What you hide behind your empty shield

Of wasted words and past encounters.

I adore what I am able to see in you.

A man with a heart that bleeds justice

And a deep sorrow that binds

My throat to silence-

My desire to speak, to ask

What brought about that look

You harbor in your intense gaze.

I dream in black and white

But I think in grey.

And my mind is telling me that I must let go

Of my need to save you.

I don’t want to.

I want to fight for you.

But, for you, I will stand here,

Smiling like I know nothing of

Depression.
