I will love you through the window
I don't know you yet, but
Someday, you will see me
Someday, I will not be broken
It will take awhile to heal
All of this scarring,
New cuts scarring over now,
Someday it will fade
It will take years. It has always been an uphill battle
I have always known that I would have to fight
But I will love you through the one way glass
You will never see the destruction behind me
It's so hard not to look at the explosions as I walk away
I'm not strong enough not to run,
Not to trip
Not to look back
You don't need to see that
You can love me when I am whole
When I am no longer bleeding
When I am solid
Try not to notice when I slump against a wall
Try not to notice when I am not strong enough
Because I will never be strong enough. I've given up on that
I'll always have a limp,
Some scars never fade
But I won't show you those!
Please, try and love me as if I were still a person
*Even though I haven't been for a long, long time
