When You Need Fixing
By: the iHope Poet
What If
You get what you need
and not what you want?
Doesn't that hurt worse?
Maybe you survived
in the end,
But did you truly
live?
Because you tried your best
and you got what you earned.
But love,
love is not deserved.
Love is a wish simply granted,
freely given.
So I'll fix you, yes,
but first, please suffer.
Suffer so that the reality of being
put back together
is clearer to you.
And the difference between
working to earn
and hoping to get,
is a fixed truth in your mind.

Fix You by Coldplay
