People say that
broken things can never go back
to the way they were.
But, I think there is something worse than that which we can never mend - the cracks.
How can you ever fix a crack?
Maybe we can put on something
as a bandage
so we won’t be able to see it from the outside.
I think that will do, but will it fix it?
No.
We just shove it under a façade.
We never really had a chance to face it head-on.
Until you find yourself trapped,
thinking it’s still useful, but
regretting how beautiful it was before you messed it up.
It’s crazy how a simple ‘crack’ can make you lose your mind.
I think I’d prefer broken things,
because no matter how much I loved them,
I have no choice but to give them up;
and throw them away.
But with the cracks?
You’ll have to live with it.
