I am
Dark colors and hopeful hands
a broken heart in search of love~
An unassembled puzzle with no one who cares enough
to put me together~
Clearly read and willing
to tell you all my precious secrets
if you only tell me yours~
A dark sweatshirt and a room
full of people
that still leave me feeling so alone~
Begging for answers and words
that actually mean something;
while i drown in what has become
the life I never wanted to have
How much longer can i wait?
I told them I was strong
Iv'e held on for too long
