I knew you must be broken from the start,
A part of me could tell you were not whole,
Your eyes held pieces of a shattered heart,
This unforgiving world has taken toll,
A shattered mind is nothing for the weak.
Reflecting on a past of damaged pride,
A life without the need to please, you seek,
And if you fall below the par you hide
Emotions, buried underneath plain face.
You find a way to take away bright pain
By shutting out the ones you claim to raise,
The shards of negligence sever my veins,
And all the times you tried to shut me out,
My love for you was always without doubt.
