“I guess it took more than words to bound your wounds
because many didn’t even penetrate the surface
even when I saw you start to crack all I could do was stand back
and i watched the pieces fall i was helpless
I was small”
we were trying to get back to words
as you left me watching as you flew toward the sky
I guess I held too tight to your rope because it broke along with you
but you were already broken when I found you at the end of the road
or was it you who found me at the beginning of the road
im not quite sure anymore
I guess it took more than words to bound your wounds
because many didn’t even penetrate the surface
even when I saw you start to crack all I could do was stand back
and i watched the pieces fall i was helpless
I was small
I tried to be the hero
I tried to fix your broken bits
but how can you clean up shards of glass if you yourself
are falling through the jagged cracks
I cared more for you
then for myself
I asked you
no I begged you to smile
to laugh
to live
but you said no
I said I would smile if you did
and I haven’t smiled since
