Broken

Why walk into my heart now,

While am bitter and heart broken,

Why bring light in my dark world,

While am so used to the darkness;

I’m that novel with torn pages,

Gone and lost,

I’m that burnt candle about to end,

Just last shaky flame that remains; 

Why take me to beautiful places,

While they revive forgotten memories,

Why find love that you desire in me,

While it’s dead and gone;

I’m that damaged goods,

I’m that lonely without loneliness,

I’m that empty liking vessel,

I’m that broken seat;

Why sip my sour waters,

While sweet taste juices are out there for you,

Why swim in my acid waters,

While fresh spring waters flow from the untouched mountains;

I know you think you can change me,

Take these words by heart,

Never meant to reject you or intend to hurt you,

But prevent future heartbreak.
