We Were Meant To Be Broken

Blood is never beautiful

Yet we were made to bleed

 

Hearts were meant for breaking

Eyes were made for crying

Hands were made for hurting

 

We were meant to break

And we were meant to heal

 

Our hearts will shatter a million times

Yet we must rise

We must pick up the fragments

And make these pieces whole again

 

Blood is never beautiful

Yet we were made to bleed

Because you have to bleed to heal

You have to break to be repaired

You have to cry to feel happy

You have to hurt to heal

 

Our hearts will shatter a million times

But we must rise

So take your broken hands

And pick up the fragments of your shattered heart

Blood is never beautiful

Yet we were made to bleed 

And with time, wounds are made to heal.

  • Our Story

    Our story always ends the same

    No matter how many pages I turn

     

    In the end

    I’m the friend in need

    And you’re the main character, always having to help me

     

    I try to rip the pages out

  • Poem 260

    I saw you today

    For the first time in months

    It feels like I haven’t seen you in ages

     

    I used to hope

    We stayed apart

    Never faltering too close to one another

    But as I look into your eyes

  • Yours Again

    When I looked into your eyes

    The memories came in waves

    Drowning out all our flaws

     

    For a moment

    I forgot my resentment

    And became yours again.
