You held my hand while I treaded blind
I left everything behind
Without a care in the world
Love was all I intended to find

You picked me up while I was in shambles
And I admit I was quite tough to handle
But you treasured me so
And was taught love's greatest example

We took 4 wrong turns and hit a dead end
I told you to keep going but you wouldn't comprehend
When I tell you to run instead of dragging your feet
When I tell you it hurts how the branches dig into me
When I fall but you don't pick me up anymore
Where was the soul I fell for?

You left long ago and I never realized
I was talking to myself this whole time
You never gave a reason as to why
So, I blamed myself and the silence amplified

I will get up and move again
But for now, my somber eyes will drench the dirt
Giving new life to the green eyes I wish I unhurt

I will live.
