I still think of what you told me

each poem you wrote

adorned with your meticulous scrawl

you had golden words

dripping with honey

that trapped me in every syllable

moving pen to paper 

faster than I could ever tell you no

"At this moment, there are 6 billion, 4 hundred, 71 million, 8 hundred, 18 thousand, 6 hundred, 71 people in the world. Some are running scared.. some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day.. others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men at war with good, and some are good.. struggling with evil. 6 billion people in the world, 6 billion souls -- and sometimes.. all you need is 1."
