Breaking
A longing glance, a gentle brush of skin is all it takes
It feels as if I'm struck by lightning, my whole body quakes
My throat tightens, my chest swells to a great mass
I feel like I'm in flight, but these wings are made of brittle glass
You're still broken and in pain; I can see it in your eyes
You try to hide it with smiles and laughs but they're just flimsy lies
I try to fix you but the pieces never seem to match up anymore
You're forever damaged, pieces scattered across the floor
Slowly I feel myself grow weary and forlorn
The sharp pain of rejection feels like a unforgiving thorn
Helpless, I struggle to grasp on to the hope of me and you
But I've endure for so long and to fix you, I've realized, takes two
My glass wings are breaking, pieces scattered across the floor
