standing in a crowded room
i realized no one can actually protect me

no one will ever be strong enough
or caring enough
or sensitive enough

no one can **** my fears
or conquer them with me

because the thing that i needed saving from
is *myself

***** to stay sad
when people
expect you to be merry

This day
and the coming days
Gotta fake it

I can go on and on
From "Sorry's"
To "Thank you's"
And a lot in between

Lips sealed and tongue tied
I let everything unsaid

Not knowing
that though
my heart
can never be silent,

*It can never be heard either

Too much heaven
gives you
*hell

Machu Picchu, Stonehenge, The Colloseum
These are all built in ruins
All beautiful pieces
All fascinating

Hence don't ask me
Why I look at you
Like a piece of art

Darling, don't hide
Brokenness is beautiful
*You are fascinating
