You're a fixer 

gravitating toward broken people 

latching onto their cracked foundations 

as if your love were glue 

you build toxic connections 

with those who couldn't care less about you 

believing that if you just try hard enough 

you can make them whole 


You pour yourself 

into their wounds 

try to cleanse the darkness 

from within them 

patching their scars 

with pieces of your own heart 

but no matter how much you give 

it's never enough 


You don't fix them 

you only end up affixing yourself 

to their damage 

until the weight of their misery 

bends your spine until it breaks 

their poison seeps into your veins 

and their unwavering indifference 

carves hollow spaces 

where your self-worth used to be 


Now you're the broken one 

whose in needs of repairs 

messily patched together 

with empty apologies 

held upright by exhaustion 

because you couldn't fix them 

and now you're the one 

in need of fixing
