Broken


You're broken.

I see your hurt.

I wanna help, but you push away.

You tell me you wanna leave.

You said you're taking away your pain today.

But what good will that do darling?

You're worth the life you live.

Trust me.

I cant lose you.

But youre hurting and i understand the pain.

When nobody asks whats really wrong.

I understand that you are broken.

Broken and lost.

Lost and scared.

Scared and unhappy.

Youre wanting to leave.

But when you leave,

not only were you broken,

but many will be lost without you.

id be broken without you.

I have had a hard past year and writing it all down has helped a lot more than I thought it had.
