Skipping Stones on A Heart Beat

by Albie Nicol

they were the lightning that

accompanied the storms raging a war in

my eyes

they remind me to always better myself

with every slap on my raw wrists

and assure me that tomorrow

will be better because of the

opportunities

I missed.

together we build backbones out of

keyboard keys because every nerve

has a different character, a different

tick.

when they hold my hand, it types

a paragraph.

they hold me together with their al

dente

arms never before warmed to a point

where

a hug was the correct multiple choice

bubble,

I have done that.

they can read me like a novel in the

action of hugging me seventeen years of

paragraphs

have irrevocably spilled into their starry

eyes, my favorite feature.

and I take them with me through the

sanctity

of caffeinated beverages or lack there

of- tea.

the hours I have spent on their couch

coddled

in a blanket made with love, I cannot

explain

how safe it feels.

with every step they take away from me,

I give all of my breath, possibly even my

lungs, to them.

They could live a thousand years and it

would

never be enough to align all the stars

chimerically implanted in my eyes,

almost as if

they create the constellations.

my wrists will always be raw, the

downpour in my eyes will forever be a

raging force in me

but they will always be the words and

the paragraphs

that I will shout at the top of my lungs

when all seems

to fail, tumble, and fall around me, like Pompeii.

they will always help me build my

backbone, even when the keys

don’t clack anymore.
