Home.

Words spoken in hushed voices

Breaking hearts one by one

Everybody looking at me

No, not at me

Through me to what I was

At least what I was supposed to be

To them I was an idea

A person to manipulate

A person to use through everything

Not a child, a toy

What they didn't realize

Is that toys are very breakable

My skin was easy to tear apart

My heart was shattered

A million broken pieces

Scattering the floor.

I was broken

I am broken

I don't know how to fix myself

I don't know if I want to be fixed

But then I saw your eyes

Bright as the lake on a sunny day

Your heart was whole

Welcoming me into your life

You somehow put the pieces back together

But I am still lost

And I know I don't deserve you

You deserve the world

And I am not even a pebble

Your love was easy to give me

But it was hard for me to push away

Yet I did it without flinching

I am broken and hurt

The world tore me to pieces

I don't know why you came back

But I don't want to fight it anymore

In your arms I feel safe

I feel loved

I feel at home.
