You talk like thunder
Hands shake like leaves
Say you’re fine
“it’s nothing”
But your eyes don’t breathe
Coffee on the counter
Cold
Untouched again
Every tiny silence
Cutting through your skin
You are not your past
You’re more than shattered pieces
You’re more than fragile glass
I’ll hold you when you’re bleeding
When you think you’re gonna crack
I’ll be the arms around the breaking
You are not your past
You’re more
More than fragile glass
You flinch at kindness
Wait for the turn
Tracing all your bruises
Like that’s all you’ve earned
But I see the sketches
You hide in a drawer
Worlds you built in pencil
You could color more
You are not your past
You’re more than shattered pieces
You’re more than fragile glass
I’ll hold you when you’re bleeding
When you think you’re gonna crack
I’ll be the arms around the breaking
You are not your past
You’re more
More than fragile glass
If you fall apart
Fall into me
Every sharp edge
Safest they can be
If you can’t believe
I’ll believe enough
I’ll be here
I’ll be here
When it feels like too much
You are not your past
You’re more than shattered pieces
You’re more than fragile glass
I’ll hold you when you’re bleeding
When you think you’re gonna crack
I’ll be the arms around the breaking
You are not your past
You’re more
More than fragile glass
