The Fight For An Undying Love Poem by Kellyn, A Grau

I look into my self
See the person I've created
A mixed scene of two parts
One alive and one dead
One part is caring and loving
Desires only to care for others
While the other is desolate and forgotten
A shell compounded of scars and sorrow

One solitary mirror that's locked away
Can show you the true person I am
The one who's a mixture of pride and rejection
Of love and of disappointments

Why is it that only a flicker of both sides must be shown
Never can one side take over
Perhaps it's the fear that builds in my heart
Of the constant reassurance that love can vanish
In just the simple wink of an eye

But I am a worrier made to fight this constant battle
Made to be the one to mend the broken shards
Each time I piece them back together
The image becomes more warped than ever

One day I'll fit those parts correctly
And then fate will bloom before me
One day I'll conquer all boundaries
And make love a free emotion to flourish

For now I'll chain it to my heart
Never allowing a breath to escape
For on one single breath alone
Can be the reason its stripped away from me

I can't handle another broken heart
So I'll hide my feels away
Behind that distorted mask
That seems to be my best devotion
