Small Mistake
It must be painful to see
how I've grown up
Can you even look at me?
We both lie
Maybe in pieces
But don't you cry
Broken shards
can always be fixed
Although they may leave scars
We both know
we should be alive
But that's so hard to do
when we have already died
Maybe they were right
when they said
you shouldn't have a child
that I should have been dead
We give and take
We may bend
but we'll never break
because these scars will mend
Does it kill you?
To see me now
Does it hurt you?
To ask 'how'?
----We want to believe----
----that we know what love is----
----But how could we?----
----We never loved ourselves----
