Broken glass covers the floor
The smell of alcohol fills the air
Ever since you walked out my door
Life has been filled with such despair
Best friends forever
Turned out to be the sweetest of lies
Because broken people are always abandoned
It was only a matter of time
Before you grew sick of the sadness
The endless darkness inside
Of me, hopeless, depressed, damaged
You didn't even say goodbye

see it’s never quite the way it is
in the beginning of everything,
that desperate, urgent discovery of
one another’s every facet,
paragraphs of conversations
that never seem to cease,
& you’re both a little obsessed
& then you’re the only one still hooked
because there will always come a settling
when being in love becomes a fact of existence
instead of a phenomenon,
when things
change.

i hate the way i want you,
every minute & always.
i hate waiting for a sign
that i’m not the only one still jonesing.
the mornings come in cold
as they drown my dreams,
dreams spent reminiscing
your angel lips.

& call me madness but i swear that
if i took a blade to my skin tonight,
desire would pour from those blue, ebbing veins
resting beneath my wrists,
all that wanting
bleeding out & puddling
on the floor.

If you wrote something like this
for someone like me
would I manage to smile
and feel more happy.
If I opened up my eyes
would it help me to see
or am I still blinded
by your own misery
what's that you're saying
oh sorry
you thought this
was meant to be about me...

Like the melodies of rainfall,
you give me a serenity
Like the smell of spring green grass,
you fill my heart with smiles
Like a brush of pastel colors in canvas,
you give me a mildness around my wall
Like a rhythm of the blue waves,
you complete me with a tranquility

And in the winter days
you make me feel so warm
like a bonfire in a dark wood
lighten up and warming up at the same time
And you make my heart blooms
Like daisies in a white meadow
they are humming a melody
as you greet them with a bright smile

And I know you do not realize it
but when I see you, you remind me with the sun
But no,
you're not a sun who makes my eyes go blind,
you're a moonlight who lights me up
even in the darkest time
But the moon has so many flaws,
and I don't see one in your soul
so I think you're not a moonlight

Then I think again and again,
And I find it.
You may not be my sun,
or my fire,
or even my moonlight,
*But you are my world, and will always be my world.

Here is where I found a home
A place where I belong
Where I can do all the things I want
Where I can lay all day, all night long

Hey, here it is. My beloved home!
Come and look inside,
Look straight into my eyes.
Search for the tragedy that's unfold.

Hey stranger, don't be shy.
Treat of this as your own.
Just don't break anything fragile,
Or else, it wouldn't be restored

So I watched him as he go by
Wandering around the place and all
He uttered this words
Save this, I want to buy it.  Consider this sold!

Of course, I was startled.
I found a buyer. He'll take care of my home.

And then he went to the dining room,
I let him have the best dish served.
I let him devour all kinds of food before him.
I let him have all the wines I preserved.

After eating, we went to the living room.
That's where I display all my collections.
That's where my heart is engraved
That's where my heart was mold!

He sat onto the sofa. He looked around, then at once,
He saw a glass heart shining like the moon.
A lunar light that has stun him like a fool.
I watched intently as his face turned into a gloom.

I must have it! you said.
Consider this sold!

Oh no sir,
You're mistaken. I said.
I will let you have everything.
Just not this one. This one is mine. I begged.

But you wouldn't listen! As if I didn't said,
This is mine! This is mine!
Why are you so deaf?

Here is my money.
I swear I'll take care of this one.
Just let me have it, or atleast,
Borrow it for now?

So you borrowed it.
And you always carry it with you.
I let you reside in my home.
I even considered giving it to you

Then as you walk around the neighborhood,
You saw with your own eyes.
What a sight! A palace made if ice!
Without knowing it, you dropped everything.
Including the glass heart of mine.

I was filled with rage!
You deserve to die! You filthy creature!
I plead to you to take good care of this one.
And now look at what you have done!

Get out of here now!
I don't need the like of you inside my house.
Just let me. Just go!
Don't bother to come back.

Then you responded, full of remorse as you speak,
Yes. I know I am wrong, but please understand.
I am a traveling merchant and it's in my nature to grab the things I want.
You shouldn't have trusted me that easy. I'm not the only one to blame for that.

And so he left me.
Without saying goodbye.
Without turning to cry
No one could say I didn't try, didn't I?

So here is where I found a home. Here in a place called the unknown
Here with this dying heart of mine.
Waiting for the next merchant,
Waiting to let the story take its course, this time.
