To You, My Darling Poem by Emma Alberts

My darling,
Lend me your ear
For I have just a small piece
To you, my darling

Emos
Spending so much time
Hating their life
That they don't know
That they can change it
Just a couple turns
And a little adjust
POOF!
A new life!
But sometimes
The life takes a wrong turn
And dies down slowly and painfully
Leaving just their dreams
Fluttering through the air
Once they're stuck
In my dream catcher
I'll take them
And examine each
Every one telling their own story
About where it lived
Listening to every word
Every sound
And every breathe
That comes from its mouth
And giving them to you, my darling
On a single sheet
That means the world to you, my darling
