Broken
I tried using Scotch Tape
To repair my broken heart
But it wasn’t strong enough
So it fell back apart.
I tried using make-up
To cover up the scars
But sometimes I let them show because
They remind me of who you are.
I tried using hot glue
To put my bones back together
But soon they’ll be in pieces again because
Glue does not last forever.
I tried using staples
To stitch up my chest
But the metal rusted
So I took them out to rest.
I tried using my brain
To think of a clever plan
But you outsmarted me
Before I ever began.
I tried using my body
To show you what you’ve done
But you did not care,
You said it was good fun.
I have taken the hits.
I have taken the pain.
I never believe when you say,
“It’ll never happen again.”
Because of you,
I remain broken.
Because of you,
I remain open.
