Tears are just fragile pieces
Of dreams broken and souls as well
You can pick them up and try to glue them
But will that ever be enough?

Nobody can turn back time
Chances lost, no heaven nor hell
We all look down, grasping pieces
Some get cut, my surface rough

Inside we go like there’s no tomorrow
Apart from another, locked in a shell
And so it runs, our precious time
Shortening lifespan with every cough

They emerge like we’re attached to them
But is there a chance to always tell?
There’s time for that, yet always tomorrow
It seems like nobody gets to laugh

And in the end the pieces will bring us
Back in time, for then tomorrow
We can bring them all we have, but
At night all curtains will be shut.

I stay behind to pull you closer
Make you laugh or just smile
With my charms, I’ll play imposer
Hope you’ll make me stay a while

I’ll lend you my ear and everything else
Wish you don’t break my lonely spells
I swear I want to be just like you
But even my reflection just looks through

I’ll run after you when we fight
Wait for your texts in daylight and night
Shower you in compliments, pouring my heart
Money as well, for gifts with my card

But I mean everything I do!
And I care more than you would know
Hiding when I feel blue
But either way, my toxic traits show

I can’t fight them, they want me to fit in
As if being me was worse of a sin
Silent brooks splitter under the weight of the world
And maybe that’s my fate, cut off hair so curled

As curled as I wanna huddle up
But I brush it away
Suppress all my feelings, make them shut up
So there is a way
To like me just now
Alongside my toxic traits
