Once Upon a Time

Broken </3

To say she's broken would be the understatement of the year. She knows what it's like to just want to disappear. She knows she did not hurt him yet she feels like it's her fault. If only she could learn to keep her heart hidden inside a vault. My voice will tremble and surely break as I pray to get some peace by the time day breaks. My mind will scream to leave you behind but my heart will break at the sight.

When I see your frown throughout the halls when your laughter does not ring. It is then and truly then do I see it was meant to be. The teachers have noticed and so have I, that you are not the same guy. The teachers will all blame me but my mind blames you. My heart agrees with teachers, if only they could walk in our shoes.

If they walked in mine they'd feel the pain if they walked in yours they'd feel the struggle. If they walked in mine they would know why I barely can stay awake. If they walked in yours they would feel nothing but ache.

Months have passed since we've been together you say you want me back but it is much too late. You only want me when someone else has me. You are like a child who wants a toy, you want nothing to do with it until someone else starts playing with it. You can't say you love me and expect me to run right back.

I am like a wild animal, unpredictable. I act off impulse. I do what feels right and I worry and panic if things begin to go wrong. My mind can remember every memory and every song lyric but I forget simple math.

I am going insane but it's quite alright. These nights when the demons run rampage are truly some of the best. It's the night my demons are completely free are the scariest.
