If only life was like
Nail polish.
Once it cracked,
All we need is a new coat.

But sadly,
We can’t cover ourselves
With more coats
Or add a new one.

But we try.
We try our best to
Cover ourselves from
The rest of the world.

We hide under covers
Of hard shells,
Making ourselves seem
Tougher than we are.

But the true is,
We’re all just
Cracked and faded
Underneath it all.

He was my everything,
My everything and all.
He left and I had nothing,
Nothing at all.

He always had those eyes,
Those storm colored eyes I loved.
His brown hair was untamed,
Always a mess.

We used to spend all the hours together,
Never getting tired of each other.
Now we can’t,
Never again will we.

I said I would risk my life for him.
He promised me the same.
Little did I know,
That promise came true.

I used to wrap my arms around him,
My everything in my arms.
Now I wrap my arms around nothing,
Nothing at all.
