It used to glow
It used to shine
It used to dance
It used to sing
It used to smile
It used to laugh
Now it doesn’t glow
It doesn’t shine
It doesn’t dance
It doesn’t sing
It doesn’t smile
It doesn’t laugh
Now it sits on a shelf in pieces
It’s alone,
broken,
Wondering..
Will bring joy to someone again?

Instead..
It brings sadness and pain
A reminder
Of the past that won’t be forgotten;
A past of false joy
And hope shattered
Like a window from a bat
I don’t glow
I don’t shine
I don’t dance
I don’t sing
I don’t smile
I don’t laugh
I’m just another broken toy

"Why choose someone who has nothing?"
"Why choose someone who is broken?"
Why?
Because you’re worth it.
I see the fear to leap
Into what may help you
"Why?
I’m not worth it.
I lied to you
I used you"
I let you.
Why?
....Because I love you
I want to take this leap!
Will you come with me?
I proved I’m not leaving..
Over
And over
And over again.
I know you’re scared..
But ties can be broken with effort
...Why can’t you trust me?
Why?..
Because Love, I’m scared too..

I need it
I don’t know why but I need your love I need the happiness you bring like a warm summer beach day
I need it
Your smile that lights up the world brighter than a supernova
I need it
Even if you’re sad I need it your sadness is a pain I won’t always understand
I...
Need...
You...

I can’t stop thinking about I never should have left never should have pushed you away you were my hope my life line to peace

I cut that line and now I’m falling to the depths of darkness Grabbing to the wall like a newborn grabbing for their mother
