Nobody Understands

Love & Loss

you said your heart was a whole in three

the two holding the one

you glanced around with teary eyes

the woman your age with her kids

she glanced back at you, her old life flashing before her eyes

whole old, she was once a girl, just like you

you mock a laugh,

it's not only those stories of being twenty

how about the story of being fifty?

you forgot what you needed while

you had everything you wanted

it didn't take much to be human, a woman

if it wasn't for God, you wouldn't have been good

you knew

when the two parts holding the one died,

you thought you'd never find the one

that'd be the two to your one

who'd complete the shape of your heart into whole

those parts you buried in you still existed

you hoped for them to grow back alive

until when reality taught you that fantasy wasn't its thing

time was everything, its power inevitable

you got bored and tired of waiting,

you realised mom and dad weren't perfect

but they were always right

you didn't have it in you to be them

or as those good friends that always did good by you

killed by vibes that never belonged to forever

you dreamed to be someone's forever

while you forgot your own

this coin tossed by loss

the host was the cost

but you lived anyway,

thinking why you never loved yourself

as you lived with yourself
