In Some Way, Broken
when i find you, i’ll never let you go again,
i was a fool, and that is why we feel this pain,
though it surely is in my head, i can’t forget,
and i can’t forgive myself, for what i did, not yet,
maybe, i’ll never, be pure like i should be,
after all i did, how is it a possibility?
but i know that all the best just keep trying,
even if i’m not so good, i ain’t gonna be quitting,
look at me, without hate in your eyes,
i know that i’m only a reflection, but let’s compromise,
the others can forgive me, so why can’t you?
you’re the hardest one to get through to,
i don’t sleep, because i fear those eyes looking for me,
looking for that sweet, innocent girl; who i used to be,
it breaks me up, because i try so hopefully,
to get her back, but she won’t come back to me,
I remember when I had faith in future days,
But now they’ve combined, in the worst of ways,
There is no joy, just one complete blur,
Then, I see you there, there, in the mirror,
And I think I see a smile,
When I cover the next mile,
I feel like you return,
But you don’t, you just… burn,
I watch your body combust into flames,
Engulfed by the screams and the pain,
I try to reach out to you, I call your name,
But it is my own name that I scream in vain,
I search for answers, but there are none to be seen,
Then, just at the perfect time, I remember what I’d been,
The faces of those I loved appear before me,
My friends, my reason, my family,
I remember the times when all the wires were cut,
And I see a shadow of what I was, but…
She shivers when the fires burn away at her heart,
She’s still cold, after living for so long in the dark,
She shouts over to me, tells me to keep them close,
But, I’ve lost them already, surely she knows,
My mother said I hurt her very dearly, and I know that too,
My father sometimes seems worried, and it’s caused by us two,
In some way, broken.
That’s all she is, and whilst she appears unspoken…
She speaks to me endlessly, and when she does,
Slowly, but surely, I remember who I was,
And it hits me, stronger than anything else,
I can’t breathe, but I know what I felt,
I felt memories, and I felt a smile burning up in my heart,
Thought it was dead, stopped beating when I tore it apart,
I look over to her, her face is beyond painful to view,
The skin is broken from the bone, but she smiles it through,
You can barely see any of her beauty, whatever beauty she had anyway,
All you can see is a skeleton, with some burnt skin that now looked out of place,
She begins to sing a song I know all too well,
Got me a decent grade on my music exam, isn’t that swell,
As she falls into the flames that devour her vanity, she sings,
And soon, all of the loved ones, my loved ones, surround her wings,
They glimmer in the orange fire, as white as paper,
Whilst her family are close by, nothing can break her,
The family don’t burn, but she does, though she screams no more,
You can see the pain in her smile, hear it in her voice for sure,
The pain is not brought upon by burns, but more by the realisation,
She’s seen the result of all of her wickedness, her only form of redemption,
Furthermore, proving her crimes of selfishness so stubbornly sinful,
Her suited punishment is one that is far past painful,
As the flesh of her legs and arms begins to peel away, she closes her eyes,
And for the first time, I close mine, it is then when I realise…
Come up to meet you, tell you I’m sorry, you don’t know how lovely you are,
I had to find you, tell you I need you, tell you I set you apart,
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions, oh let’s go back to the start,
Running in circles, coming up tails, heads on a science apart.
It is then, in the mists of sudden regret, that I hear the music in my ears,
And I sing along too, because the words are like my shield, they’ll protect me,
His voice is my doctor, supplying me with medicine, to make my head clear,
My loved ones sing too, but with their smiles, the only voices heard clearly… are,
Mine,
And hers,
The girl with wings that shine,
The girl… who burns,
Her eyes are happy,
Her head is high,
It is then when I see me,
Right by her side,
We merge as one,
Then I see, that we are,
Just one,
And we’re the failure,
Now, we burn,
For our sins burn us down,
It is now my turn,
To realise that I am… in some way, broken.
