please don’t break me, I am already broken

Please don’t break me further,

My heart will cease to beat;

After all the stabs I’ve taken,

One more, and I’ll accept defeat.

​

Please don’t break me further,

My adolescence has been rough;

The scars on my body are suffocating

My own hands have done enough.

​

Please don’t break me further,

Can’t you see, I’m hurt and lost?

I would’ve suppressed my love for you,

If I knew my health was the cost.

​

Please don’t break me further,

This heartache is cruel and tender;

I haven’t eaten for weeks now-

My shine is lost and I’m slender.

​

Please don’t break me further,

Not after I’ve revered you so;

“My love” I used to call you,

Now you’re someone I used to know.

​

Please don’t break me further,

I will revere our memories fond;

Don’t make my mind turn bitter

And stain our pious bond.

​

Please don’t break me further,

I won’t ask you, afresh, to stay;

My friends will always know you

As “the one that got away”.

​

Please don’t break me further,

I want to experience love again;

My bleeding soul will remain empty

Till I learn to let go of this pain.

​

“My love, please don’t break me”

All these words will remain unspoken

And my heart will remain broken

And my heart will remain broken…
