Have you ever...

Do you ever need something deeper than you can explain; something unspoken like a low, humming vibration beneath your feet? Someone that just knows, understands, and feels what you're feeling; someone who relates and it helps just because they do? Does it help to try to assure yourself that there is that someone out there, somewhere? Have you ever been that person to another?

Have you ever saved a life
Have you ever changed someone's religion
Have you ever become someone's religion
Have you ever become someone else to help someone become themselves
Have you ever stolen someone from themselves
Have you ever transformed anyone from virgin to harlot
Have you ever?

Because I have.
I've done all these things.
Those days were long ago.
But I still hold them in my hands like tiny birds.
Wings broken and falling away.
Still trying to fly.
