A Girl in a Forgetful World

Broken

Like glass,

I shattered when you dropped me.

Like the wind,

You blew me away

With one last breath

And one last word.

I am broken,

I am bruised.

I have tried everything to get better

But nothing seems like it will help me.

I want to be free

Of the glass shards that sting my heart.

I want to love the sky again,

And the birds that sing glorious songs

When the sun rises.

I want to watch the sunset with him

And enjoy life.

Whenever I am with him,

I feel at my best.

I feel happy,

Pure happiness.

I can't describe how much he can

Keep me smiling.

But,

I am broken.

I am not perfect.

I am nothing but shattered glass

Living in a shattered world

With nothing but him to love.

I cannot hurt him,

Or rather...

I don't want to.

My glass shards sting his hands

When he grabs mine.

It's a refreshing feeling to be loved...

But I am broken

And I can't break anything else I own

Because he is the last thing I have

And I'm holding on with every last piece of me.
