And you?

You were a dream so beautiful

That waking to a world without you

Was a nightmare

Nobody wants broken people
Their cracks keep them from holding
A job, a love, a life together

Their sharp edges
Hurt the ones who try to hold them from
Giving in, giving up, falling apart

And while they try to fix themselves,
The world moves on, holding its head high
Missing the misery at its feet

=====

Melancholy isn't satisfied

with only stealing my voice.

It robs me of words too

I hated myself
Until I found at the center of me
The child who hurt at first

I thought to myself
Until I found inside
A desire to help her

Because as long as I have hurting
She has been waiting for someone care
And I think it's about time it was me

I hated myself
And I don't know when that started

But I know when it ended

I passed me in a mirror
Stopped and stared at the wreckage

I didn't feel disgust but sympathy

So I wrapped myself up and said
"Don't worry, I've got you"

Love is good morning texts
And always reaching for you

It's going out of my way
And a surprise rose or two

But it's also

Torrential downpour days
Tough talks, and hard truths

It's forgiving and learning
And having your back too

Because I love you more

Than easy days and
Butterflies at my core

More than ferris wheel rides
And london bus tours

Because

I plan on forever
Every good, every bad

And a love that lasts
Built the hard work of our past
How I wish this could have been us

The funny thing about a beautiful lie,
Is even after it hurts you,
You want to believe it all over again.

...Just like you
