Heart that refuses to break
Broken glass inside my heart
Won’t cut like it used to
Cracks run through it
It is a heart that is covered in scars
Yet nothing can make it break or shatter
No matter how much pain and damage
It has endured
It still beats
After everything it will still beat
And not giving up
It turns all the pain and hurt
Into a strength
That can’t be taken away
No matter how much you did try to
It didn’t let you break it
You kept making me feel so unwanted
So unworthy of love
Tried to dim my shine
Whatever to make me feel less
So you could feel yourself being better than me
But you clearly did think
That I was stuck inside your trap
That I could never leave
But I walked out your life
Even through the fire
Like I was unstoppable
Phoenix rising from the flames
That in the end I was diamond
And each cut just made it more beautiful
The heart that refuses to break

Never waiting for you
I just can’t stop laughing
You really did think
That I was waiting for you
I know I shouldn’t laugh
But did you seriously think
I would be still waiting on you?
Don’t you hear how ridiculous that is?
That after everything I would wait for you?
You know what you did
And now you think
You can come back like nothing happened?
And everything will be like it used to be
I’m sorry but I have news for you
It won’t
I was never waiting for you
I will never wait for you
Seriously never
I moved on
And you have been dead to me
All this time
So go haunt someone else
Here is nothing for you
There is no place in my life
That you could get back
Did think that I would put a stop on my life?
And wait for you?
Never
My life went on
Now there is nothing where I used to be
Because I did find life somewhere else
You did wake up too late
I’m already gone
And never coming back to you
So don’t cry for me
Because I have found my happiness without you
Not waiting for you was the best decision

Keeper of secrets
No I don’t have skeletons on my closet
Sometimes it’s hard to remember
Do I even have any secrets of my own anymore?
Because I have cemetery full of other people’s secrets
Locked away from prying eyes
It’s not a small cemetery
Only I know what is buried there
And by who
But no one else has the access
To any of it
Some secrets are small and innocent
Even really sweet
Does someone really like someone specific?
What secret feelings they might be hiding
Especially from everybody else around them
But not from me
Knowing fully well
I’ll keep it all as a secret
It is safely buried
Where no prying eyes can ever get to
Where gossiping gravediggers won’t ever find it either
Because there is only one who can walk there
And know what was buried where
The tombstones have no names
Hiding even more what lies beneath
To hide especially those darker secrets
That is buried so deep
The ones even I didn’t ever want to know
Yet I’m stuck with keeping them
Wanted or not
I’m the keeper of secrets
Good or bad
This is just a part of my destiny
Keep them safe and hidden from the world
In this invisible cemetery of secrets
Where is always a night
That is never ending just like the shadows
Between the trees and endless rows of gravestones
Cemetery of secrets doesn’t ever have blue skies and sunshine
It is a beautiful dark paradise under a full moon
That only keeper of the secrets can find it
