Everyone's moving forward
Embracing the future
While I fall backwards
Stuck in the past
I want to be ready
I want to move on
I want to start a new chapter
But I can't
I'm held back by my past
Painful memories
Of isolation
Of loneliness
I thought my heart was saved
The curse finally broken
But I was wrong...
Boy was I wrong.
8 years ago
8 years ago I was deserted
8 years ago
My heart broke
Closed off for months
No one allowed inside
"FRAGILE"
"HANDLE WITH CARE"
Not everyone understood
Not everyone cared
I lashed out
Tears flowed
But soon my heart opened
Everything was okay
There was no more pain
I was no longer lost
7 years my heart beat
7 years it stayed strong
7 years it pushed through
Pain, Anger, Fear, Embarrassment
But I was blinded
7 wasn't a milestone
It was a countdown
To my heart's shutdown
Once again I am being abandoned
Once again I'm being rejected
Left alone in the cold
With no one to save me
My heart has turned to ice
The ice has cracked
Shattered
All the pain pouring out
I tried to stop it
But it was stronger
It was faster
And it was just me
Heart Status:
Emergency Shutdown In Progress
Down for Maintenance
Will Reopen: Hopefully Soon...
