“like me, you”
words, so simple
like me, you
may be a glimmer of hope,
like me, you
just wishing for a connection
like me, you
interrogate me as only a foreigner can
like me, you
made only hand gestures and sad eyes
like me, you
were trying to catch something reserved for dreamers
like me, you
a command. pleading, begging.
like me, you
miserable despicable wretch, incorrigible irreconcilable lover
like me, you
lonely one. scared one. desperate
like me, you
hurting, healing
like me, you
lost one, found one
like me, you
rise in the morning glare in a mirror
like me, you
demand too much of something so worthless
like me, you
cannot accept a failure
like me, you
believed in solutions
like me, you
have and were let down
like me, you
tried to
like me, you
save face save grace and tried to save someone
like me, you
couldn’t save yourself
