Cracks Poem by Izobelle Pulgo

If only you looked beyond the cracks
You could have seen the broken little pieces I glued just for you,
Then maybe you could have understood,
Why my tears fall for reasons I don't even want to know.

Pain is a friend when everybody left
And the broken heart becomes a valued foe
For in the shattered dreams that I wept
You never wiped the tears that you saw.

Beyond the veils of smiles
I tried to convey a painless me
But a look in your eyes and I fall
The mirrored truths from which I tried to flee.

Please look beyond the tattered edges
See with your eyes and hear my call
All I have is these battered edges
Save me, please break this wall.

And the cracks would be nothing more,
Just shattered little pieces on the floor.
