Backpack Love

You wore your heart pinned on your backpack no concern for nobody, not even yourself You saw nothing but shapeless clouds and colored glass mistakes lie behind you and before you all over your path you took whatever came rotten, second hand things looked for happiness in every wrong place but then it came and found you it sits in front of you with open arms palms to the sky love pouring out of every seam nothing but help and hope to be given while your eyes begin to brighten they are no longer a storm, a saddened sky they are a smiling childs your chapped lips quiver and body shakes for the fear that builds and thoughts drown your mind, you won’t be hurt again I promise these clouds become our future endless and full of wonder put down your backpack and surrender your heart, stop running I’m here to hold you and stand beside you, have your hand in mine you will never be alone again, never even cold not again on the wrong path for happiness for it is no longer at the bottom of a bag or bottle it tickles and cuddles with snorts and giggles my smile, your smile like small children in love forever pinned together
