Member Poem

Glass shattered into millions of shards
I tried to pick up the pieces
But the fragments turned red with blood
Forever, deeply scarred

Liars have said that if it’s broken, it can be fixed
That’s not true
It can be changed, improved, or looked down on,
But nothing that’s broken will ever be the same

My heart was torn by a scheme called love
I tried to repair it, but was missing a piece

A little like an unfinished puzzle
All that was left was that one frustrating corner
That I couldn’t stop looking for endlessly
And admit that it was lost

You were gone before I could find the words to express
“Honestly, I love you”, but I never stood a chance, I guess
Now you will never know the truth

This is an unspoken vow from me, to you
I will never cry in front of you, but hide my tears in my sleeve
If I make a blunder, I’ll cover it with an excuse and a grin
I will be quiet and take it, even though I wish you were with me

See, I wear my heart on my sleeve
But I cover my brokenness with a mask
I’m an actress, so even though I will always wonder
What we could have been if I had told you the truth
Neither of us will ever know

Do not dare worry about me
See, I’ve locked away my feelings with an iron key
Then I buried that key across a crystal ocean
And only God knows how to reach that sea

Even if it means loving you without being loved
I can pay the painful price
Selflessness hurts, but you are beloved
