Chapter 14 - Glass bars...

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...

Like a star.

That ain't there
