Broken...3.9.17
Don’t know how much more of this life I can take
How long does this ride last
The thoughts in my head, there are a million and one
Feels like I’m crumbling fast
I can’t see you, can’t touch you, can’t hold you my dear
I can only love you from afar
I keep hearing be patient, have faith and believe
She’ll come back and heal those scars
Of scars there are plenty, but one just for you
It grows bigger every day
Try to tape it, wrap it, keep it protected
The same size it will not stay
I’ve loved you since birth, fought for you always
It seems now to be diminishing
I’m trying I swear because I know you are there
While feeling this is a fight I’m not winning
For now I guess I will try to breathe in and out
Tell myself it’s true
Hoping and praying the best that I can
Someday it’ll happen, I’ll open my eyes to you.
