Worth It

By Angie NP

Is it always worth it?

He’s broken

Cracks run through his skin

His eyes

His heart

She’s healing

Patching up pieces of herself

Someone else broke

They meet

They’re souls tangle and dance together

They feel comfortable together

But his cracks slowly start to spread

They eat up and destroy every little stitch she 

worked so hard to sew

He’s broken from a broken home

He doesn’t know how to love her

He doesn’t know how to be kind

He just knows yelling

And mocking

He knows pain instead of love

That pain spreads

Spreads to her

Spreads to you

Spreads to me

That pain causes you and me to step back

But for her that pain causes her voice to fill with I’m sorrys

Those cracks are breaking through for her

And she’s back to where she was before

But it’s okay because it’s for him

He’s the price she’s paying
