Broken Place Poem by Nebil Elias

I've grown up in this place
And what I've learned all these years
Became an addiction that I can't escape
I tried my best but it doesn't fade away

When you came into my life
You had no idea about my past life
You said you hate lies
And I said so do I
Wish I told you everything at that time
But I was afraid that you won't be mine

I gave you love, but it wasn't enough
Thought I'd be a better person
But I ended up being worse
I made you fall; I know it's all my fault

You deserve real happiness
And I deserve to be myself
And if we tried again
We'd fall to the same mistake

And I don't want to bring you back
To this broken place
I have to clean up the mess
And it's taking too long
To bandage all the wrong

Even if I've outgrown
You might be in someone else home
Hope you find peace and serenity wherever you go
A place full of happiness, where you should belong
