There was a boy once;
or was it a girl..
made of something the world
couldn’t touch
without bleeding.
Too quiet to sell,
too true to shape.
His hands were wrong,
they said.
Too jagged.
Too real.
He tried to trim the world
into beauty.
She sang
to keep from vanishing.
And somewhere,
a father
drank his memories clean.
They both were punished
for what they couldn’t change.
And maybe that’s why
when I reach for you,
I move slow..
like someone who’s been taught
that love can leave a mark.
Maybe you are Edward.
Maybe I am.
Maybe we both learned
how to stay hidden
just well enough
to be misunderstood.
But I see the hedge animals still.
The snow.
The scars that bloom like gifts
no one wanted to unwrap.
And I would rather hold you
in thought
than bruise you
with presence.
I would rather
watch your voice return
like spring
to a mountain still afraid of thawing
than claim a single sound
before it’s ready.
If you are Edward,
then your blades
are mercy
you never asked for.
And if I am..
then everything I do not touch
is a kind of love
you’ll one day recognize
by how softly
it stayed.
I know how hard it is..
to live in Edward’s world.
As you,
I’ve felt the same.
Catch your breath, hit the wall
Scream out loud as you start to crawl
Back in your cage, the only place
Where they will leave you alone
Because the weak will seek the weaker
'til they've broken them
Could you get it back again?
Would it be the same?
Fulfillment to their lack of strength
at your expense
Left you with no defense,
they tore it down
Well, and I have felt the same
Well, as you, I've felt the same
Well, as you, I've felt the same
Locked inside the only place
Where you feel sheltered,
where you feel safe
You lost yourself in your search to find
Something else to hide behind
Because the fearful always preyed
upon your confidence
Did they see the consequence,
they pushed you around?
The arrogant build kingdoms
made of the different ones
Breaking them 'til they've become,
just another crown
Well, and I have felt the same
Well, as you, I've felt the same
Well, as you, I've felt the same
Well, as you, I've felt the same
Refuse to feel anything at all
Refuse to slip, refuse to fall
You can't be weak,
you can't stand still
You watch your back
because no one will
You don't know why they had
to go this far
Traded your worth for these scars
For your only company
And don't believe the lies
that they have told to you
Not one word was true
You're alright, you're alright,
you're alright
Well, and I have felt the same
Well, as you, I've felt the same
Well, as you, I've felt the same
