I am
Ripped and torn
I am
Older but still able
I am
Comforting to friends
I am
Able to be spilled upon
I have
Springs that occasionally pop up
I have
A bit of an odor from age
I have
Some rough edges
I will
Help in getting you there
I will
Be there when needed
I will
Offer my life-long trust
I will
Offer my ability to see you
I will
Love your essence
I am
I have
I will

I softly spoke To the Italian stars About you They whispered back We know She’s Ours I raised my voice Yelling at The top Of my lungs She is The one The one I love My Free The Moon Mighty She Smiled back And breathed Into me I know She’s of Me As you are…
