Frailty. A heart is a fragile thing.
After a while
You learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul.
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't always mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts.
You begin to accept your defeats with your head up and and your eyes ahead with grace, not grief.
And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
Most of all, you'll learn that you're the one who's lifting you and not who you thought was.
I never knew I could crumble like this.
Aye but there's always two sides to a coin.
At least I'm not stone like what you always say.
But there's always two sides to a coin,
I'm not as strong as what you perceive.
No, I was never strong.
Neither am I stone.
Now I need to stop feeling
because my physical can't take my emotions.
It's simply trying to reject what it cannot contain
so, if I wished, I could follow you 6:30 PM
