Lovable, for what I thought I couldn't ever be
The coldness running through me had started to affect
Seeping in through the scars that ran through me
Got me limping away barefooted in this wildfire of defect.
Emotions get strained before emerging through
Entrapped by the vulnerability, whose bond stays true
Always in that ever - threatening shade of blue
The stars on this night are no longer in this blurred view.
Receiving fragility is akin to watering the dead
Neither capable nor deserving, is what it felt in the end.
Giving away was balancing your entirety on a strand of thread
A shattered mold, broken without being held.
Because of what I've been told, I'm just like my father.
Incapable of fixation; bloodline at fault
People trying to change it- why bother
Somehow, it's always falling short.
Dark is that hue that engulfed this insensate heart.
Where the aching thoughts land an unnamed debris
Perhaps it's something that tagged along from the very start.
Fates always collide into a bone-crushing plea
From all within me, I was trying not to lose.
The dew in my eyes is now pouring.
The bleeding wound can heal only when I choose
Lingering, is the presumed heartbreak something I can afford?
Submerging myself in the feelings once ignored
Progressively breaking down the walls I'd built around me
As I waited for the ache to be magically cured?
Little did I know what it'd cause me to see.
No safety or precautions went forth without any warnings.
One glance in the eyes and the butterflies are left to storm
Erasing engraved thoughts, wrapping them in silly little
drawings
While bathing me with care in every unimaginable form
Maybe the water revived the dead from its misery.
Sprouts of this ethereal life growing for the first time
The past, nonetheless, remains in history,
Ecstasy that soars beyond cloud nine.
Overflowing with emotions unbeknownst to me before
Perhaps this is the power the right person holds.
Old beliefs shaken down to their core
I guess, all this intentionally remains untold until it unfolds.
