When you bear what's unbearable You become unbreakable
Poem

It was love and not time that flew away in moments
I was once afraid that I might fall in LOVE
And then I did
When I fell in love, I feared I might fail in love
Why are all my fears suddenly becoming true?
I failed, I failed the only thing I loved in this world
No one can understand my pain
Not even him
I wanted to be by his side so bad
Maybe he didn’t want it
I know he’s hurt by the cruel world
This world isn’t fair to him
But I was
And I was punished for the cruelty of the world
Maybe I was too available
Or maybe I loved him too hard
They say too much of anything is bad
But, my love? It was only sweet
It was only pure and strong
But maybe he had diabetes
He too once loved me so much
He said he was afraid of losing me
Maybe he conquered his fear?
Who knows if he ain’t afraid of losing me anymore?
Hey, dear heart of mine– Why are you so fragile?
Why can’t you become as brave as him?
But, my weak heart, I know how strong you were
When he silently quit a 100 times on me
And you stood by, waiting for him
Oh, I know how patient you were
When he left you unchecked
When he knew it hurt you and he closed his eyes
When he could still see through but he left it unnoticed
I know how strong you were to realize every bit of it and still let go
And I’m proud of you for it
I still can’t figure out how you became that strong?
Was it because the pain couldn’t be exhaled so you inhaled it?
Or was it because no other place in the universe could hold onto it
So you decided to secure it into yourself and let the universe be free
Oh, I bow down to your courage and strength
I know it might hurt you but I’ll say it anyways
‘Cause you’re the only one I can let my burden out on
I know you’re inside of me O my heart!
But, you’re something so mighty, I don’t even compare to you
You are so forgiving, you forgave at the time when it hurt you the most
You rescued their pain when you yourself were burning in the fire
How could you be so mean to yourself?
You always let them stab you and still return their knife cleaning off your blood
Is this what LOVE is?
I thought it’s something that gives you peace
I always gave them everything they needed
No one gave me a shoulder when my eyes were raining
It has always been you my dear heart
I placed my pain in your lap ‘cause I knew no one else could bear the weight of it
You seem very unbreakable to me, my heart
You have carried the weight of so many dead words
And you still stand like you were never called useless
How? Just tell me how you could do it?
Your size doesn’t look like it can store a lot
Yet you somehow carried all the unlovable actions the did to you
And look at you still hugging after they come to you for a 100th time after breaking you
My dear heart, My love was so expensive
No one could ever buy it
It was so pure and so selfless
But, I myself sold it to him
And I sold it for free… He didn’t even ask if he had to pay
Now it’s in his cell, and my love is a prisoner
It’s now bearing the punishment of a crime that it’d never commit
And they say, LOVE can’t be bought or sold
How do I tell you that I’m living my ONLY fear!
My only fear was failing my LOVE and I’m living it
I thought dying of failed love was the hardest
But turns out living one is even worse
'Cause when you bear what's unbearable
You become unbreakable
Maybe that's what I've become

Don’t worry, I wrote it after watching a heartbreaking movie. So it makes sense.
