I prepared the note today, "laminated" it with tape
In case it gets bloodied, the blood can be wiped off.
It wouldn't get stained by grime or oil as easily
It would survive rainwater and the ink wouldn't get smudged.

It's the note I've telling you about for a long long time
Not a suicide, but an informant
If I should not survive
From wherever and whenever,
That I was meant to go.

It has your number written, and the other's too
So you would have some access to
Wherever you need to go.
The hospital, the ward,
Whoever opens shall inform.

So please don't get a scare
When you hear an unfamiliar voice
And you hear about what's happened
And you make a sniffing noise.

I hope you don't cry too much
But I know it's inevitable,
And if I really leave

Please.
Break the promise.
And don't come after me.

Go with her to church.
Fulfil your life dream.
Take care of each other.

Then I may smile from Heaven above.
And if I do die
I pray you find
This poem
This account
This part of me.

I'm so grateful that you're a broken puzzle piece,
Because believe it or not, maybe it was meant to be that
I'd be a broken puzzle piece too, and once we met
We'd just clicked so well, like we were meant to.
I'm so glad I met you because
God knows what I'd do without you now.
In a way, I'm glad we're both broken.

So we'd fit each other today.

See, this poem will just be lost to another
Long list of much better, much stronger,
Much more powerful poems than mine.
I'll just be another face in the crowd,
Another account in this ****** site,
Another anon in the broken world of the internet.
Maybe if I stack up enough masks,
You'd finally see me because my masks are stacked up
So **** high that they stand out from the crowd.
But I think we both know,

That's very unlikely.
You might have seen this.
And you might have skipped it.
But I just pray
You didn't click it.

Does a map
That leads to treasure
Want to be found
Despite the danger?
With the knowledge
One might not make it,
Would you not rather
Save her?

Call me crazy but
I'm afraid of saying the word "Goodbye"
Because I'm so afraid the person would take it literally
And they'd leave forever and ever.
That that "goodbye" would be the last thing I say
Before she jumps of the building or
He decides to be heroic and save someone in need.
And they die.

Call me crazy but
I'm afraid of making promises because
How much it would **** if
Someone made a promise to get back to you safely
And he or she never did.
You'd just be left in anger and desperation,
Wondering why the hell
They never kept that last promise
Before they died.

Call me crazy but
I'm afraid of saying "I love you".
I mean like, how many movies have we watched where
Two people exchange "I love you"s
And it becomes their last words and it gets
Etched permanently into the living one's mind while the other one

Dies.
Watching too much TV again...

You showed him all the best of you
But I'm afraid
Your best wasn't good enough.
I know he never wanted you
At least not the way
You wanted yourself to be loved
And you feel like you were a mistake.
He's not worth all those tears that won't go away
I wish you could see that.

Still you try to impress him
But he never will listen

Oh broken angel
Were you sad when he
Crushed all your dreams?
Oh broken angel
Inside your dying
'Cause you can't believe
Oh you can't believe

And now you've grown up
With this notion that you were to blame.
And you seem so strong sometimes
But I know that you still feel the same.
As that little girl
Who shines like an angel.
Even after his lazy heart
Put you through hell.
I wish you could see that

Still you try to impress him
But he never will listen

Oh broken angel
Were you sad when
He crushed all your dreams?
Oohh broken angel
Inside your dying 'cause
You can't believe
He would leave you alone
And leave you so cold
When you were his daughter

But the blood in your veins
As you carry his name
Turns thinner than water
Broken Angel by Boyce Avenue. I loved that song. It's wonderful when he sings it.

But I can't hear it anymore.

How does a broken man
Fix a broken other?
