Saving Myself, Saving Me

I never hold hands with the enemy

I never sympathize with cold hearts

I never love without being loved

I never knew the ruin will ruin me

I never wrote poetry to the broken

I never cared for the pitiful

I was just saving myself


I never met a homeless lover

I never wore your shirt

I never saw the thin line

I never thought you care

I never brought you there

I never seem to remember

I was just saving myself


I never frightened from destiny

I never found out if you were there for me

I never imagined a world without friends and family

I never gave up when I knew it was the right thing

I never tested the waters without sinking in

I was just saving myself
