Flowers, water, and glass

A broken vase is worthless

To anyone but me

When they see a mess,

I see beauty

 

Most will turn away 

Brush it off as nothing 

But I'll run up to it

Mend it if I can 

 

People think I'm crazy 

For letting myself be cut 

On the shattered ceramic 

But I don't care 

 

Once glued back together 

It will return to the shelf

Once more full of yellow roses 

Different now from the others

 

Where others see a broken shell,

I see a lovely girl 

Who's heart is heavy and hurts

Because she is more than the broken pieces everyone sees

And I can see the true girl inside her scattered fragments and behind her floral fronts

  • Me or you?

    Why does your soul cry

    When your eyes meet mine?

    Why does your smile fade

    When my voice cascades?

     

    How do you flow 

    Through the crowd?

    How do you speak

    Through your tears?

     

  • Nothing anymore

    For years when I would look at your face, I saw my future, my life, my whole world in your eyes, but today I for once just saw your face. The same lips that I had once longed to kiss, the same eyes that I would get lost in, yet I felt nothing.

  • Counting backwards

    I'll push my dull heart down

    Anytime you need me to

    And you'll never hear me

    Beg you under my breath 

    Not to leave me

     

    You looked at me

    Like I'm a horrible 

    Burden just now
