Truth or not, whole or not.. all of this, is incomplete
Incomplete:
You are too good they say
People will take advantage of that
You have to make them respect you
You love too much
You care too deep
We know you.

Sometimes you lose yourself in caring for another, they told me

They said the words over and over again
They felt the need to protect me form myself
Now, I know I am dangerous to myself
I cannot protect myself
I am vulnerable to myself
I cry as I look in the mirror defenseless from me.

From my mind
From my thoughts
From my heart
From my longings
The desires that sit deep inside
The want I want to want
The way I love what I love
I run.

It follows me in the dark like a shadow does
I cannot see it but I know it's there
They will break you
They said;
Don't trust them...
They don't love like you
But they did, they loved like me, and then broke me
Like I was told
It's truth,
It's lies
It's whatever it is

It's called in blacks, and reds... Maybe violet

Cannot perceive the colors
Like I cannot perceive the truths
Or the emotions that run deep

Steady, slow and steady they are
They run deep

Cut slowly, again and again

Being in the outside, but feeling like you are in
Doing things half way.
Incomplete thoughts.

Short stories that make no sense today.
Loves that aren't full- kinder like loves that are ghost
I can see them, feel them....

Cannot touch them, they whisper in the wind and I know it's them
Cannot run from them;

Incomplete; is what I know now.
