Broken Glass

Ned Taufik

by Ned Taufik

Story

I just wanna disappear

Instead of dealing with you

If I were so mad

And if I were a lunatic

Why do you put up with me?

I know you deserve something more

I know you expect a hug

A warm embrace

But I am as cold as ice

Because my heart is frozen

And because your fire is a flame

But I don’t want to touch you

Because I want to run

And I want to run away

Far away from you

So you won’t get my cold

And maybe also

So I can’t touch your fire

Because maybe I hope

I can light my own fire

So I don’t depend on you

For warmth

For love

For guidance

Maybe I want to be alone

Maybe I like you

But I like my loneliness better

Not because you’re bad

But because I am

Because I’m unable to love

You like I should love you

Because you deserve more

Than this broken glass

You constantly have to puzzle with

Because I love you

So much

I don’t want to love you

To hurt you
