It’s so hard to understand the ease with which your eyes can see what I myself cannot. It’s so hard to understand the need that lives in your hands as you try to solve the puzzle of my naked body. It’s so hard to understand the reasons why you say it’s me and no one else, when it has never really been me— it’s always been someone else. It’s so hard to understand the way you love me, because the trauma of a broken heart, a bruised heart, cannot be healed overnight. And none of this is your fault, but it is your fault for making me believe that a shattered heart can love again. I’ve cut myself enough on the pieces… I can’t do it one more time.

The difficulty of a broken heart
Enjoying your company despite my distaste for other people Smiling and giggling even when I just had a bad day Smelling your scent on me keeps reminding me of you Feeling scared that one day you'll disappear and I'll lose this bond between me and you Thinking that hopefully we can make this work because I always think the worst Loving someone is foreign to me but deep down I know I've always loved you Admitting that is stretch for me however I hope you can see my sincerity Coming to you in all transparency and hopefully in your heart there's love for me ▪-▪

Foriegn Feelings
At a point I want to hold your hand I want us to be together, one Then my feelings change and twist around Afraid this battle cannot be won If you touch me I would like to scream I promise this isn’t your fault I cannot feel the same as you So lock me in some vault This pretty picture, lovely in my head I can’t act it out to reality I don’t want you near me, let me free There’s something wrong with me You’re a sweet and lovely guy as it goes I’m sorry I’m your pick But I can’t continue anymore I’m starting to feel sick.

Oh No! Alice is Unable to Love!
|| Layers, ||                            ||| layers, |||                                                            |||| layers |||| To each person there are many I have mine: from the two-piece I always wear To the intangible levels that make me who I am And you have yours: from the one-piece cropped tops To the varied fronts you show to hide your vulnerability. With the help of your hands and charm, I unhesitatingly and slowly peeled off my layers To show you who I really am:                                    Genuine, unbroken, pure You on the other hand, Your layers unraveled themselves Over the months Giving me a picture of who you are:                                        Bro//ken, afraid, [closed-off] Not giving me a chance Only giving me excuses For why there can’t be more. The one layer you did not want to peel off Would reveal and open your heart I revealed mine, foolishly thinking you would do the same But you never did…
