She left crumbs along her trail hoping no one's left astray She forgot just where she put them and has lost her ******* way A savior to the people A hazard to herself She thought losing all her essence Might get her trophies on her shelf A **** for recognition but programmed to just do the right thing She wishes she was heartless Empathy ******* stings But she left breadcrumbs on her trail Hoping maybe somebody would follow Does she crave a lover Or is she just that ******* shallow?

_Reflective tears_— but none fall. Glass-stained eyes, holding back a flood that forgot how to break. The walls pit inward— tightening like regret, closing in like the hole in my heart. Hurt me again— my mind almost begs for it; not for the pain—but for the proof I still feel. Cracked knuckles answer what cracked thoughts can't say. A fractured mental frame held together by restraint. I want to cry, but as I reach for the memory of it, the tears don’t come— Just the hollow ache of forgetting how to let go in that way. _It be like that some days..._
