With or without you

You picked me up, made me strong

Threw me down & walked along

Those pieces put together, made me whole

now they crack and crunch beneath your sole

It's not the end of the road or end of me

but a part of it, run in a slowing journey

A chance in a million to make me new

like breath to the dead, so I'm grateful to you

I'll live, live throught it all without pain

it's not my loss, there's so much more to gain

don't think i write in memory of a who

I have a self with or without you.

The trail of crumbs i left behind

will lead me back to what i could not find

so why search for the hidden when it wants to be lost

leave it with the crumbs to stale in the forgot

I'm not in a tunnel, waiting for the light

i'm out in the open, plain in sight

it's easy as said, easier when done

like loose ends freed from knots undone

Have you ever felt the lightness of your own weight

Gently departing from the body of a cruel fate

Those out of body experiences, all so true

Always been happy with or without you

There was a moment not too long ago

when lonely meant to fly solo

now the nest seems such a constricted place for two

when the sky aches to share me blue

It's funny how truth can be so ugly

but peels off layer to a much refined beauty

i'll even admit to my own cowardice

for ignoring all signs of self prejudice

I have a story, one in making

For which all the risks are worth taking

It found a start so the rest will follow through

The end will come, with or without you
