Undone

You can't handle my pain,

the suffering I have endured.

 

You can't defeat my demons,

the darkness within me.

 

You can't conquer my monsters

Because I'm the monster.

 

I hold you tight with every fiber 

of my being as I begin to unravel.

 

And you grab the pieces as they fall,

but you can't catch them all. 

 

For who is strong enough to keep me 

together when I come undone.

" And you grab the pieces as they fall,

but you can't catch them all." Very nice.
