Broken

Teardrops Soak through to my Skin

Yet nothing Pours Out

Not the Memories, not the Secrets

And definitely not the Emotions—

At least not the Ones i Shared with You

That i Gave to You



And i Wish i knew which Pieces were which

Which Ones are mine

And which are Yours



i Kneel Down before You

Before the Cruel World Itself

No Use in Fighting—

Resisting



i Let the Darkness Swallow me Up Whole

Along with what's left of my Pride—my Soul.



Criticize me

Curse me

Pity me



Disown and Damn me if You like



i have Nothing left to Lose.



i should be Afraid, i know

But i'm not.



i'm quite used to Plunging into the Great Unknown—

And as Deeply and Recklessly as i please



That's what Love feels like, right?



But, then again, how would i Know?




i'm Broken.

i'm Lost.

And i've Always been Yours.



You just Never Knew what to Do with me…



So i Wait for a Stranger

For Someone—

Anyone



To Take me by the Hand

And Lead me Home Tonight
