Dear Emo Boy,
Give to me your rainbow rose,
Blossomed to the point of bursting
Colors inconceivable to the minds eye
Oh, dear Emo boy,
I can see it now
Your ego death came long before,
my world, your canvas, pure as snow,
Your life the vibrant explosion,
soft as snow fall
My dear Emo Boy,
Give to me your water color rose,
And show me your blood
Wet on these thorns, darkened in my eyes
Warm to the touch,
Warm to my eyes
Meet my gaze Emo Boy,
Your shoes are nothing new
Build your walls, brace your gates,
Windows never truly close
Look into my eyes, my sweet Emo Boy…
What has the world done to you?
Give me your hands Emo Boy,
The holes in your palms, tell me
Do you smear them on your sleeve?
I see them on both sides. I see the space between
Your blood your soul, but someone has
Stolen your bones
Cheer up Emo Boy,
You were more human than any of us
A smattering of colors, soft as a butterfly’s wings
You were the all we could not see,
That you could find
Beauty in the street lights
I love you Emo Boy,
The histories of the world could not contain
What you save inside
As rich as great kings, hoarding mountains of coin no one can spend
Spinning yarn into epics, composing songs from your colors
In languages never to be spoken,
Never to be understood
I love you Emo Boy,
You are more human than any of us
With Regards,
–J
