The broken Glasses and Plastic Plates
The broken mirrors that tell the tales
Of life I once spent in shadows
The lingering fears I silently swallowed

All the birthdays never celebrated
Tools and Knives contemplated
Hidden in the boxes, never to be found
Pistol in drawer with empty rounds

The music played but there's no sound
Within the walls of the haunted house
I knew that place,  I knew it well
My only home, we had to sell

Bitter memories, I try to forget
'Hide away , records and cassettes'
Take down the frames, hide the pictures
'He'll tear it all',  said my sister

The calls for help, you may not hear
Don't listen to the music, don't cover your ears
One cloudy day, I came back home
To find her face, in a bluish tone

Pretended that I never saw
Raging pain in my fainting heart
It was a brick, he intended to use
Changed his mind, just punched and bruised

I loved that record, I loved it much
He threw it away, it melted in the sun
I loved that picture in golden frame
He tore it apart, it was never the same

The life went on like this forever
Sky sees light, that our hearts could never......to be continued...

She with a pure heart,
A pure soul.

He with dreams
Dreams that flew,

They did not involve her!

She asked for his heart,
Nothing more, nothing less.

Yet she asked too much...

For she loved him,
Loved him with all her being,
She longed to see him smile,
To hear him say...

"I Love You"

Yet he dreamed of finding riches,
He saw fairy tales,
Pirates with their loot,
Wicked goblins and stolen jewels.

Yet he did not see the treasure,
The treasure before his eyess.

She sung songs of hope,
Her turned his ears.

She wept tears of sadness,
He walked away.

Never realising what he had,
Never once looking...

At the gem he had uncovered.

He chased false promises,
And came back weakened,
Into arms awaiting,
Awaiting to offer comfort.

She gave him everything,
Was it too much to ask for his heart?

Did he not see her pain?
Her agony as he pushed her away?

The silent tears that fell,
Fell from her broken eyes were there,
Open to no one but him.

But he does not see.

Again she longs for him,
Again she follows his every word,
Willingly entranced.

And again he does not see her.

For she Loves Him,
He Loves Her Not.

My back flat
On my comfy bed
Staring at the
bare ceiling,
wondering
how many lives
Can be saved
if we simply
Master how to
love ALL

I keep walking on straight
But why
Every time
I come back to step one?

You see,
Here's the thing
I'm having trouble with my identity
There's no country on this planet that feels like home
Yet, I try

And I accept
I move on
I hold dear everywhere I'm from
And I rage "I am ME"

But then
I break
Shatter
Broken glass
Tears
Back on phase one

Confused, heart murmuring
Not something I should do
But why?
I love this place, don't I?

Even though my mind freaks out every corner I turn
Even though I shut my senses numb everytime someone talks
Or does something

Even though I fit in by standing out
Even though I don't know the things I'm supposed to know if I'm one of them
Clueless
Trusting
Broken

Rambling now
I'm glad there's at least someone
Who knows
What it's like
With me

Otherwise
I would've gone over the edge
A million times
Back on stage one
