To my Bestfriends, Pen and Paper


i don't know any others who

know me more than you do

you know all I

need to have

need to do

need to go to

that i wonder if i'd ever need something

more than i need you


from my grocery list

to the scribbled poems

from the nonsensical doodles

to lifesaving notes

you know it down to

the tiniest details

and that includes my

favourite quotes


you keep my secrets so well that

you know every words poured

on the unsent letters

addressed to the name i kept

writing on the blank spaces

before i crossed them off

and tucked away

all the traces


you can see through

the false nonchalance

when i reach the

fourth stanza of my

unveiled feelings

you tear through my heartbreaks

and you share my longings


you make me

speak without talking

as i indulge in the uncomplicated

comfort of your company

until i can finally

breathe out the ache

of finding out what mess

being human can make


it's funny how

you're even helping me through

this letter i'm trying to

write for you

i just really want you to know that

you saved me

by being there

when my words seems to

burst out of nowhere
