Unfair Portrayal of the Fairy Fair

Could you collect and assemble

What has been shattered

Bring them together

With your compassion

And warmth 


How soft you are (if you consider the edges of things and trails of dust) 

Inside and out

Pieces would tear you apart (visible from both sides)  

But it seems like

Inside and out (in and out)  you heal easily

Easily you may (in dreams and in real life)

Marry the tissue (sliced and composed at the same time)

Able to turn into (a bird without wings, a tap on the back) endless virgin forms

How soft you are (if you bear in mind the edges of things) 


Could you absorb what's left of me

With your compassion and love

With your understanding and touch

With a long kiss

And infinite little ones 


Find me in pieces (look for spikes and trails of dust)

Swallow me whole

Even softer inside (could you)

Make my bed, tell me stories

Stories I have already heard 


Can you do all that

While remaining intact

And the softest (think about the pillows and clouds)

Inside and out 


How soft you are

Inside and out

It seems like

Though pieces would tear you up(beware)

Easily you heal

Able to turn into

Countless new shapes


It is not fair

What is expected of you

The unconditional softness that would cement the tissue

It is also unfair

For me to observe you

In countless virgin forms (of convenience)

Conforming to my edges (consider that even though you heal easily, you still need time)


But still,

Could you take inside what's left of me

With your compassion and love

With your understanding and touch

With one long kiss

And infinite little ones
