A Me and a You
this night i was robbed
of a me and a you
taken clean off the shelf
where i kept them both
to remain forever.
such simple things,
mes and yous,
made of cotton hearts
and button eyes
and trained to say i
love you with sincerity.
and though, this night,
i was robbed of such treasure
(that me and that you)
i can still appreciate
the beauty of rebirth as
i reach for my needle
and thread to sew on
a stitched smile and
those button eyes and
those cotton hearts.
i implant those
i love yous with sincerity
(just as a me would say it)
i may have been robbed of
a me and a you
but they've been lost before.
i've always appreciated
simple homemade things
(especially mes and yous).
