Have you ever liked someone
From afar?
A crush...
Not a rush.
Watch them glow
Like a star.
Have you ever tried to love
Regardless
Of the scars...?
But you can't break the cage
That ain't their
Glass bars...
-
So afraid
To just open up...
All the trauma
And damages
You feel so stuck...
A mental fuck.
Not enough.
Constantly forced to be tough.
Those walls that you put up
Keep the bad
And the good out.
Afraid to have reciprocated
A hint of the love
That you put out.
-
Have you ever liked someone
And hoped they liked you too?
And hoped they might see through
Your defenses
To the true you...
Hoping that they can see that
Your greens are all slightly blue
Turquoise...
Mental minty green.
Hearts of icy blue.
I see you...
-
That feeling
Of hoping the feelings
Flow both ways.
The feeling
Of hoping
That they
Would go those days.
That their eyes would say "okay"
That their smile could be an
Indication
That stopping to talk is okay.
-
Cause I can tell that you've been hurt.
We are all damaged.
Between depression and trauma
Is where our love is fully sandwiched.
We've all been hurt.
The best we had
Has been scavenged.
The best we can do
Is hold true
So it won't happen
Again...

Glass bars...
