Fragile to Handle


I am staring at the photos

Wondering when it all started

When did you fall out of this

When did I stop making you smile

When did I start hurting you

Since then?

Was it that superficial

No

Not the thing

But the love

Was it not worth fighting for?

Weren’t I worth fighting for?

Maybe ours started in the way it was ended

De ja vu, I guess

Maybe ours was watered with lust and a pinch of love

The way we go through

Was all fertilized with our worldly needs

We forgot the core

We forgot, are we ever still in love?

(For I am)

We are on the boundary of love and lust

Maybe you just wanted me

You wanted every shit of me

But that’s what we were

Ours on mine

Was a very hard thing

You made it harder than with what is hers before

All that I deserve in an aspect was kept in the dark

All remains in the dark

Now I realize,

No matter how hard I cry

You will never hear the emotions lying beyond these sobering cries

For you will never be wanting to be deceived again by this voice

No matter how I effortly dress myself

You will never appreciate the beauty of the curves

For you have seen my scars

I can never make you choose me

For you are afraid of this

No matter how hard I try

I will never be your choice

Your proudest choice

Maybe it’s not because you are not the right person for me

But maybe because

I am too dangerous

Too dangerous to hold on to
