Fragility

.
                                                    i am fragile
                                    in the dark i sit, with wide open eyes
                                                      [staring]
                                           filling with unshed tears
                    as i wait for my loves name to appear on my phone
                              i am older, but with an air of innocence
        like having both a wise old soul, and a young trusting soul, together
                                                  i am fragile
                                                  in the night
                                    in the day i hold fast to my mask
                                                 in the night i cry
                                               before i fade away
                                                  i am fragile
                                            though built for war

I've felt this way before. XoOxXo Thank you for putting to words what my lack of insight has prevented me from saying for the longest. You don't deserve all this hurt, luv... I'm overjoyed you're still here. Your Love, .::James::.

I guess we all are pretty much fragile, but as life rolls by and strings into onion syndrome sensations, we have to learn to be...not stron...but stubborn...I guess xD thanks for sharing =D
