Broken

I feel the world falling apart around me…

Shattered pieces in fragile hands…

Love and violence….

Hate and forgiveness…

Everything cutting into me with a precise blade….

Until tears flow with a brokenness I haven’t felt in a very, very long time…

Pain fills every breath….

Grief in every heartbeat….

I wish….

I just wish…

You could see me breaking….

Hold me in your arms…

Tell me it’s all going to be okay….

Reassure me this is all a nightmare….

And I’ll wake up soon….

But when I wake up….

The reality settles around me in a darkness I cannot describe….

A paralyzing prison….

It kills me to see….

It hurts to feel….

I don’t want to pretend I’m okay….

I can’t bare to fake another smile…

I am broken…

And only love….

Can heal me….

And only forgiveness…

Can free me…
