You promised not to break it
The promise that you made
Now the shattered pieces
are embedded in my hands
I held on way too tightly
to your promises to me
you said you wouldn't break it
I guess that must mean
that I broke your promise
the pieces made me bleed
when they break a promise

I held you
once
in a daydream

I feel you
here
a phantom embrace

I see you
made up scenarios
cloud my thoughts
covering the sun
my rationality

I will never
ever
let the sun back in
as long as you reside
in the skyline of my mind
When you want somebody

Behind my mask
I am a window
Set in a wall
You look right through me

Behind my mask
I am a flower
Slowly unfolding
Finding the beauty in my flaws

Behind my mask
I am a shadow
Quiet and observant
Always there in times of need

Behind my mask
I am a bubble
Easygoing and light
Set off at the slightest change in pressure
What you don't know
Gabi Brock Mar 2020
Take me to your doll house
Let me see your shelves
What is in your drawer
What will you not tell?

I wish to see the tattered
the broken and the flawed

I wish to be your keeper
Let me through your walls
I want to know you better than you know yourself
Gabi Brock Mar 2020
I pour my emotions
onto whatever will take them
and then, when they evaporate
they form clouds

eventually
they will get too heavy
and  I will
r a i n
when you can't hold it in any longer
