Beautiful and Broken

Beautiful and Broken

A Poem by Eliott

Maybe I'm crazy
Or maybe I'm not
And the world around me is changing into something I don't understand
But I'm ready
To let go
If you'll catch me
Cuz I know
His arms will always be there
For me
When I fall

I shiver and she holds me
It's just another night
Then suddenly she's crying
And something isn't right
She tells me that she's sorry
And that's an awful word
She never wants to say it
Her voice is never heard
At home
She's lost
And she's searching for someone
To catch her

And she's falling
She's falling down
She's falling deeper into something I don't understand
She tried and tried to tell me but I don't understand
The world just keeps on turning

And all there is
Is circles and triangles and everything
Is circles and triangles
Now look into my eyes
I can see your soul

She's beautiful and broken
And all she has is time
She keeps on starting over
But history repeats itself
All the time
And she's up and she's down now she's spinning around and she cries, screams and shouts, now she's spinning around
In circles and triangles
And she sings

Maybe I'm crazy
Or maybe I'm not
And the world around me is changing into something I don't understand
But I'm ready
To let go
If you'll catch me
Cuz I know
His arms will always be there
For me
When I fall

I'm only three years old
But wow can you believe
In twenty years I will be seventy
And he'll be fifty-seven
My husband will be eighty!
I'll see you all again in Heaven

And I don't know
The conversations we'll have
But I know
They'll be two-sided
But all you can do now
Is listen to my story
That's all I have
That's all there is
Just circles and triangles

And she's dancing
And weeping
And crying out for help
She's screaming
She's leaping
Beyond this world and flying
But no one can see her
She's flying
But no one can hear that she's crying
And dreaming and dying and talking in circles
And triangles

She's never making sense now
At least she's not to me
She sees the path to Heaven
And nothing stands between
Her body and his arms
At least nothing she can see
She sees nothing since she's blind now
So nothing's there to see

She tried to take me with her
Into her lucid dream
So I could understand her
And finally set her free
But I wasn't ready
To fly away with her
She's beautiful and broken
And soaring like a bird
And she says

Maybe I'm crazy
Or maybe I'm not
And the world around me is changing into something I don't understand
But I'm ready
To let go
If you'll catch me
Cuz I know
His arms will always be there
For me
When I'm falling

I'm falling down
I'm falling deeper into something I don't understand
She tried and tried to tell me but I don't understand
The world just keeps on turning
In circles
And triangles
