fragile words

i don't need to have my words thrown across the world,
for all to behold and gasp in wonder.
i don't need fame and fortune and to be held in high honor.

but really, all i need, is for you to read my words,
and store them away someplace safe.
because they are fragile and only made for whispers
and soft breezes on hard days.

keep 'em safe, dear.
