You are beautifully broken
The words that are spoken, in my mind
The words that you speak
They fall shattered through your teeth
The way you stare, the hollow look in your eyes
Makes the fact I'm your everything
no surprise
The way your hands shake
when you don't get your way
The way that you lie
When i ask if you'd cried --

You are majestically mangled
The voices in your head are endlessly tangled
I know its because your young soul has been strangled
over
      and
             over
                       again.
I know its because being let down
has been your most faithful friend
I know its because of the memories that keep you awake
that your afraid i wont want to stay
I know its because you've been broken and fixed
in all the wrong ways
You're a broken leg healed badly
