Sometimes You Don't Have to Pick Up the Pieces

Broken people can't fix broken people.

Broken glass cannot be picked up, because the jagged pieces can cut you, that’s just like how I found you, sharp fragments sprawled all over, you were fragile that’s how you broke so easily, but being me, I could not turn away from the mess that I found right in front of me. I knelt and felt the pain cutting me deeply, the blood was the evidence, but I could not stop trying to piece you back together again. In a weird way I felt if I could your pieces, somehow, I will also mend myself in the process. But alas, that’s not how it works. Things that are broken can never be fully whole.And I should not find myself responsible for the damage that I found that wasn't my doing. You should be helping me, you were already broken when I found you.
