he told me that he had some stitches and he could sew me back up
with colorful threads that knew no bounds
and the most fragile of needles to avoid afflicting anymore hurt
i took up his offer and allowed him to stitch me back up
yet eventually the seams tore and broke and he walked away telling me that he couldn't fix it this time

You're not happy and I know you haven't been in a long time.

I understand that waking up and plastering that smile on your face is getting tiring,
that laughing with your friends is starting to feel like a chore rather than enjoyment.

That getting out of your bed in the morning is more difficult than it should be,
that you don't have a favorite anything anymore, because everything's the same.


But sweetheart,
maybe if you continue to fake that smile, eventually it will become real again.

Maybe if you surround yourself with people who are trying to make you feel happy,
they might flick the light that has been switched off inside of you, back on.

Maybe if you force yourself to get up and go outside,
you might feel the sunshine on your skin.

Maybe if you keep searching for random things,
you will stumble across your favorite something again.

But what ever you do honey,
please don't work so hard to find your happiness and then hand it over to one person to carry for you.

Your happiness is far to heavy and precious for one person to carry,
they will drop it- they will drop it every time.

Instead sprinkle it around like fairy dust,
touch everyone and everything, a
nd eventually it will touch you.

As you make the world around you a better place and inspire others to do the same,
you will heal yourself without even trying.

So darling I beg of you, stop trying so **** hard to fix yourself, because you can't repair a broken soul with the same hammer that shattered it.

Use the tools you are surrounded with to help patch up the holes.

But, no matter what, if you don't fix your situation, you will end up shattered again,

and there's only so much tape and glue can do.
Sorry this poem doesn't make very much sense.

Come at me
And make me yours
Mend what you broke
Wipe my tears
And don't let me go.

Go on then
I'll forgive
If you don't forget

I'm willing to set myself on fire
Once again
With the rising heat of your skin

So come at me
And make me yours.

the last rose
the shattered rose
ripped apart
petals scattered
he loves me
he loves me not
she has been trying
attempting
to put this back together
to reattach the petals
thread staples glue
the flower is a mess
because once a flower dies
it won't grow anymore
but this doesn't stop her from trying
she waters it with salt water
streaming from her eyes
its an impossible task
but she wont accept reality
he killed the relationship
he killed her
this is kinda rough but idk

If you ever stop moving,
I would wind you back up,
If you ever get lost,
I would set back the tracks,
If someone would break you,
I would fix you,
You may sound like a toy to them,
But you are a treasure to me.

Take this broken bowl
You made so very long ago
She is such a terrible sight to behold
Please take her off the shelf She's been sitting there all by herself
She's so very much alone
Battle cracked and worn
I know she's broken in many places
But please show her your good graces
Fill in the spaces
With potters sands
With your loving Godly hands
Patch the holes
Within her soul
With your mighty wisdom make her whole
Like you did once so long ago
Shine her with your glory
So she may go tell your story
Of how she was so broken
But your love over her you've spoken
And her sin's have been cast in to the ocean
And now she is new again
Even though she was born in to sin
She did not have to stay and descend
But now basks in the lights
Of your heavenly sights
As once again her spirt takes flight

All I need is the rush... the rush of emptiness which used to fill me up, the rush of agony which I used to ache for, which I still somehow ache for. I want to burn, to cry, to hurt; I want to feel empty. The sad thing is, I do not know how to live when happy. This happiness is suffocating, like a noose of positivity is choking me and I cannot escape. Let me plunge into the cold depths of pessimism and swim through glimmers of beauty to which I am blind. Let me be blind to this world I do not belong in. I am just afraid - afraid of losing... this. I am afraid of becoming lost to freezing cold waters as soon as I find comfort in the warmth. *I want to be empty so that the pain doesn't have to take away this incredible fullness.
~~ I never asked for the pain happiness would bring me. ~~

take me to the fountain of blessings
the one you have in your tiny heart
wash all my sins with the water
then take me by hand
and heal my heart with your touch
but don't leave me behind
in the forest of lies
cause you're all i've ever had

This world is broken,
shattered into a million pieces.
The future of our species,
does your god release.

We are left alone on this world,
left out like insects to die.
"Everything is fine."
Why would you lie?

Am I the only one who can see
that we are past saving?
It is chaos and destruction,
that our species is craving.

The world is broken,
but we can make something new from the pieces.
And if we do that,
our success of survival increases.
