Let Me Stress For You

My hands are tired. I'm stressed for you. Drag me along, hold my stuffed hands and take me in the car, while I sit by your seat with my button eyes, and hair made of red yarn. Pale faces, familiar places, why is the sky so green today? Do you understand? Snap, crackle, sizzle, pop, ring, buzz, shimmer. These are the sounds I hear when you whisper to me your love, the soft sound of you chords vibrating on my chest. The crisp air cleans the worry from my cheeks. 


Snooze, the alarm clock rings, the sounds of the men blaring on the radio, they speak of ridged politics and harsh concepts, all while adding a comical tone to it all. I'm staring at you, hoping, no.. praying to something that you'll wink at me, but maybe this time, a silent one. Though the click is rather adorable. I live for it.


What's this, you say? Hm.. Oh? No, its just something I decided to make for you. What else what I spend my time doing besides thinking of you and making sure everything I do is for you. I miss you. The dandelions brisk you face, and then you gave that smile. The one many have treasured and only I can caress. I want to rock you to sleep, while we whisper quietly to the moon, "Goodnight."


Darling, rest your weary eyes, put those thoughts to rest, and let me stress for you. I'll contrive a way to pick apart the atoms, I'll figure out this mystery you put out here for me. You say you can't do it, but maybe that's my mission, after all. My one goal. I've noticed it, you quiver, you speak softly, rather a mumble. You say you can't elaborate, you tell me you can't explain, when I know in your heart you have already found the right words, it isn't too hard. If you can write these words, if you can clearly portray such an anchor, pull it up, and set it on the dock so I can take a look.


Pull apart the shades of green, rip through the grass, and see that the soil isn't as fertile as you wished, but that doesn't mean we can't plant a wonderful tree. Don't sound so disappointed, dear. The sun sets a little later tonight, so let's enjoy the vibrant glow as much as we can. Let me stress for you.
