mend – Christina de Vries

Not About You – POEM

This is not about you

But some of it is because of you

Because of what we once were, and all we will never be

Because of the broken dreams and the shattered heart,

both of which has barely mended

Because I can’t pretend like it didn’t happen

Because love doesn’t just disappear

This is not about you

This is about protecting what’s fragile

Allowing the mended to strengthen

Giving it a fair chance of a new start

This is about me

All around was chaos

She searched but could not find

The feelings she remembered

The quiet in her mind

☼

Lost in streets familiar

Places she should know

Now there’s only strangers

In places she won’t go

☼

Curled up in the lonely

She tries to find her way

Wishing for a guiding sign

Back to a brighter day

☼

Tiny whispers in the dark

Said this is not the end

You are not forever lost

But you are on the mend
