I'm sorry that I let you down
I want to say I love you
I just don't know how
and my God, your beauty goes beyond horizons
through sunsets
casting beyond shadows in the trees
your beauty meets the waves in the ocean skylines
your eyes will bring heaven to its knees
I'm sorry
I'm afraid that I'm not the one.
I've barely removed these knives in my back, slowly pulling one by one.
I'm learning
I'm still learning how to heal
a damaged heart can only take so much
a suffering it cannot yield.
maybe someday it'll be yours
Not much, just broken pieces
don't squeeze too tight
your hands will only bleed.
one day
I can show my heart to feel again
I can look into a mirror
and see myself again.
until then
I must take a step back
continue to grow
i can always feel embers
burning below.
