#fractured
I'm not scared that you'll leave me, I'm scared you'll see me, See me like I see me. Broken, below standard, Not good enough, But trying, failing. I wish I could see differently, But that's exactly what I see, In the mirror staring back at me. I'm not scared you'll leave me, But once you see me how I see me, How can you stay. This isn't just to my fiancé, But to friends and family too, Will you see me for the burden I am? That's what I am scared of. Scared that people will see, The fractured, hollowed man I see.

What I see
A small crack, just a splinter a windshield break in the winter Our love grew cold then it fractured breaking through until it shattered Now we're left with all the shards as fragile as our broken hearts

All The Shards
I feel fractured. Fractured into a million pieces. Like the mirror that was hit Or the bowl that was dropped. Now I kneel on the floor, Staring at the pieces. How do I fix it? Can I fix it with gold? Like the ancient art of kintsugi? But what if I can’t find the gold? What if I continue to kneel In the fractured pieces of my soul. The pieces that continue to cut deep. Because I am fractured, Fractured into a million pieces.

Fractured
To those who’s voices enclose them in a tomb of closet silence. Where we can look outward but breath ever so deeply. Yearning to clasp on to the words of others but we sit static and hold our hands outward. But realise that sometimes no matter our yearning we grasp upon our own thoughts looking inward. I’m me, I’m myself, I can look outward but existentially I’ll delve inward looking upon my own worth. My realistic version of what I’m to become. My past may be scared, deeply penetrated , never showing the depth of my sorrow for I only smile. Fragmented within my inner depths. Waves may look placid. But there are only fragmentation symmetry of delusions. We are all fractured, but never showing anything but perfection. Even though we are just cracks soothed out. Decoded underneath softly cleaved decryptions of our showcase of feelings.

We’re enclosed in desperation
Oh the Innocence   That laugh, that wild howling in the throat of youth, Unseen fingers scramble for the last thread of light   Here, the angels are naked,   no wings to catch their fall.   The river splits,   splashes,   and chaos is born   from the lips of the unholy, the pure.   There be our Divinity   slips beneath the skin like rust on gold a fractured god,   broken in pieces,   spilled across the morning,   the moon forgets its name.   Prophecies?   Laughing in the dust,   twisted and torn,   a thousand whispers claw at the sky   but none reach.   Imagination is the distant echo—   a door slammed shut by a thousand hands,   and what vision is left?   A trembling shadow.   What light?   What reflection?   It’s nothing but a crack in the glass,   and through it, you see everything and nothing   all at once.   Oh but thou Morality   it’s a rotten fruit in the mouth of the blind,   an oath spat on the ground   before it crumbles to dust.   What holds us here?   Nothing but the gnashing teeth of the broken,   screaming freedom that never comes,   but always dances on the edge of our minds   like a mad bird   torn from the sky,   its wings flapping in the void.   Oppression is the song they sing,   but we?   We are the ghosts who scream in the dark,   rising,   rising,   again and again.   Flesh torn and reborn.   A shout in the streets—   but where is the end of the road?   No path but the storm’s eye,   no sky but the bleeding horizon.   Shall he call it Mysticism?   A thousand tongues, a thousand eyes—   but no one looks.   The trees scream their roots into the soil,   but who hears?   Who listens?   A leaf flutters in the wind,   and the world spins—   twisted—   a thousand faces in a mirror that is shattered   but still reflects what?   What?   What do you see with blinded eyes !   Where doth Nature find its whole,   A scream of fire in the rain.   Flesh in the dirt,   bones wrapped in moss.   Everything turns,   and everything falls.   Chaos is the language,   and we are the words scattered   across a broken page.   No order, no truth,   only the flood of thoughts   rushing to drown themselves

In the aftermath of love's decay I'm left to gather shards of yesterday Memories that once shone bright and true Now refract into a thousand points of pain anew A careless touch can shatter the calm And send the pieces of my heart into alarm The echoes of what  was still linger on A bittersweet reminder of love that's gone In the silence, I hear the sound Of fragments falling, like tears unbound A heart that's broken, like the morning dew A love that's lost, and all that's left to do Is to sweep up the pieces, one by one And hope that someday, the light will be won A light that's fractured, but not yet gone A love that's broken, but still lives on.

personal notes to self 24/7/16a
Glittering Fractured Fractals Shimmering in all The wrong Places. Time. Time is non-existent How I wish it would Rip me from this moment This agonizing Tormenting moment. Then it's over As quickly as I could blink Gone. Nothing left but this Lifeless heart I once called Home. It's only in that moment Can I see you Clearly. Continued visitations Continually mar This heavy heart. Yet Every whisper, utterance, Intrusion Brings me here. As if summoned Just to endure Pain. Tears welling Through already puffy eyes I cast another look. Through the cascading Fragments Of this broken reality Only to peer at a face of a stranger Distorted by resentment, anguish Heartache. Contained no longer Time crashes like a wave Leaving me alone. Glittering Fractured Fractals Shimmering pieces That once contained a dream Scattered at my feet

A Cascade of Heartbreak
The world we make Is a safe place to fall from Spiraling into one another Our souls orbit like Saturn's moons Drawn by an irresistible gravity The world we make Is a journey most never experience An adventure full of new discoveries And unexplained connections Guiding us toward one another The world we make Is familiar and foreign A home for healing hearts And building dreams From the fractured pieces Broken and beautiful Raw and rare Faith and fear Grace and gratitude Ours

Ours
In the ruins of memories shall I scavenge for relics, I seek totems of our union and idols of our departure, For in the battlefield we shared I sit to relish the agony of separation we now bare, To the crimson kisses staining our surrender, A salute to fractured promises.

fractured
I was there floating, collapsing in every direction. Couldn't gather my barning's. I was a compass lost in the waves of eternities disorientation. I saw her burn, a billion souls screaming in devouring regrets that spread like a silent blanket. Smoothing, asphyxiating every blossom, there life expelled to the wind of meaningless teardrops that drenched every corner of this apple. Now glazed in a hue of ill tasting caramel dust.. We looked down in disturbance. But a friend who i'd called a friend, mate. Looked at us all, a compass of many lands who worked together for a better after. This wasn't a time, a tomorrow. to them it was Already a shockwave of repercussions.. This egg shell, cracked silently.. In in this vacuum nothing is collected only vacated at a velocity of collapsed colours petrified. I was the last human, in the universe that never heard a light blown out by the wind of a billion suns.. We were bright for a moment, but we faded just as fast. My windshield was cracked, and my oxygen was leaking like flat tire. Looking down I pondered if we survived our stupidity... And just like that, I was in a head on with reality and space... My windshield was gone, I was on the bonnet of purgatory..

Fractured Light
Tooth stained catfish. Who wears depression like a badge of honour? Light brown hair downs your vile body as your ***** Yellow fingers rap on their already damaged window pains; Revealing broken nails and chipped varnish that barely covers your sins #Nofilter Cover up your dignit! Go validate yourself

Hold on to that thought To that object, to that lot. Keep trying, keep living Keep doing what you love. Something, anything That keeps your mind above. That doesn't make you sad, That doesn't make you cry. That doesn't start the cutting, The dying and the lies. Something, anything, That makes you keep breathing. Clutch that last straw with all your heart, Your mind, you soul, oh all so broken apart. Your bones are shattered And your will is fractured. Your mind is mutilated And your heart has ruptured. Black and white. The colours of the sky. They make me want to fly, Soar so high Above, so that I will never have to Come down again. For though my body is broken, my mind is free; And that's the object that I sought to keep.

Keep
Sneaking out seeking souls to sleep with, holding hands with helpless hollow horror, waiting for wholeness and whore-ness to wisp wetness, vulnerable and vindictive vicious boys prey, and eat away at me and my "magnificent" attention seeking adored abdomen, ******* that broke boyfriends from girlfriends just to fill the fluctuating depression fracturing my frail heart.

Selling a Seeking Soul
A beautiful dazzle of sunlight wakes me up, Slowly opening my eyes feeling numb. Slowly remembering the taste of my own cup. Karma, that ****** **** Splattering blood in the parking lot. Severely beaten, All of the memories and regrets are brought; Left me bleeding. A silly smile on my face. Waiting for that fatal coup de grace. A bludgeoned arm, a fractured leg, a broken nose... Peacefuly falling in the arms of Azrael, to forever repose.

She's shattered into a million fractal pieces This woman made into a mosaic This goddess, this queen The one with the golden heart that turns others green It breaks me too when I find That I can't replace all the missing pieces And put this ethereal beauty back together Not back to the state she was before she was fractured The sun, the moon The stars, the sky The dusk, the dawn She is everything in life that is right A beauty gift wrapped in insecutity How many different ways can you tell her she's perfect, Before she finally looks in the mirror and believes it? She believes that life is only work, anger, and hatred She believes a man can only lie, harm, and detonate She doesn't see life for the spectrum it is Full of a million gradients coveting all the glory Some days she believes it She tells herself and everyone around her She is confident and beautiful, capable of love and happiness Until the next day comes and once again she's in pieces I'd like to see the day a smile is on her face Not drawn or molded Like magic it appears and never fades The day the beautiful mosaic is once again Complete

Mosaic
All puzzles you have need to be solved Some pieces will never be found My mind is a puzzle Each night it falls apart Sometimes I don’t put it back together The pieces collect cobwebs I’m broken but I don’t want to be fixed One day I’ll open up the Skeltons I’ll spend hours trying to be “together” My 1,000 pieces Always missing more each time I’m scared the day I’ll loose all my pieces

1,000 Piece Puzzle
*** ***** I am a fractured soul A broken man Fragmented and destroyed into tiny pieces Left with sharp edges, misshaped parts and empty spaces A jigsaw puzzle I continuously work A never ending project attempting to reassemble But like a shattered vase glued back together, it's not quite the same What was pristine and beautiful is now just something I resemble ***** ***

who was trapped
You robbed me of my foolish dream For underneath you weren't what it seemed You stole my heart and would not give it back And you had no intention to seal my heart's crack You used me up when you had nothing And emptied me out and left me loathing Your shattered brain and genius mind Were too far gone and left me blind I could not see your void of self I only cared  for your heart and health You took from me so I could not bear My fractured love and my eyes of tears. Now those tears have turned to stone My blood my veins my every bone How dare you disappear one day And leave me here with more to say You took from me all you could My gut  my soul as hard as wood I gave to you my trust and love You ****** my lust from far above But I see you lost yourself  below It cracked and shattered and you'll never know The pieces left I had to sew If I shall  see you again one day I'll take my thread and start to pray That you will mend and become whole And I won't tell  a single soul.

Fractured
*Unlike any other feeling This is strong as fire Yet I am left cold as can be, I seek your arms in despair And yet you know That's not being "me," You throw me for a loop, I am on the edge of my seat, You spin me around freely, And never there, it's hard to breath. I am lost in your memory, But "I shouldn't" have a reason why, You're on my mind constantly, But in my heart I feel I'll never fly. Your kiss seems to be on my lips, But yet you just push me away, I got your number on my fingertips, Yet you never ask me to come over anyway.* Just let me know what I really am to you, You just need to show me you're listening, If you will be mine, or such a Fractured Valentine...
