Sometimes I imagine
I come on too strong
Like that terrible bass line
in your favourite song
and to listen and sing
and maybe to see
how this will play out
has inspired me
I'm curious, hopeful
but still kind of afraid
Because how many times
can I let me be played
Like a flute, or a trumpet
Used and put down
but never the bicycle
Ridden round town
Just a girl and her hopes
Readjusting together
Putting back pieces
Trying to be better
There's a light in your eyes
and a fire in your heart
But I see that you're damaged
You've been torn apart
and I don't know who hurt you
but I would like to say
I'm sorry that happened
That you've wound up this way
Because I know what it's like
and I know how it hurts
The struggle can kill you
trying to make this life work
But the struggle's a challenge
one day at a time
Torn apart from within
The outside? Just fine
When you can't find the words
or they're stuck in your throat
and you whisper and gag
as they make you choke
as you look in the eyes
of someone you Love
and you're heart splits in two
when they tell you they're done
when your eyes are wide open
but you can't see a thing
for the tears are a flood
and they're starting to sting
when you feel your backs broken
you're unable to walk
from the weight of your soul
and the ache of "the talk"
when you're shredded and done
like a note long forgot
turn and reach out
I'll be your rock
I will aid you and save you
be a light in the dark
when all hope is lost
and you've fallen apart
because I've been where you are
and I know first hand
that being alone
can destroy you, so bad
when you are down trodden
and your heart skips a beat
put on this song
leave on repeat
listen and learn
and know in your heart
that somebody, somewhere
Loves you too hard
to the point of exhaustion
from digging too deep
into the dirt
of the words at your feet
from the mind and the soul
the darkness can grow
to the excess destruction
that I have shown
It beat me and broke me
a wild beast in my head
it left me so tangled
better off dead
i'm scraping and clawing
to hold it together
reach out and touch me
I'm light as a feather
Equally delicate
drown by the rain
that cleanses my soul
and eases my pain
and floats me away
with the smallest of breezes
my eyes have been opened
no more living diseases
no more shall I wallow
I want to grow
expand my horizons
let's start the show
I can feel you are broken
As I'm on the mend
Heal together?
I'm willing to bend
and I will try to be patient
A virtue I lack
because there's something inside you
that I see, and want back
You give off a kindness
a wave, if you will
that let's me be hopeful
and my fears aren't so shrill
But I'm running from them
for they're faint, but around
I refuse to let them
push my hopes to the ground
for I need to be hopeful
and dream, and be free
I want you to be there
but maybe that's me...
Maybe I'm crazy
and these thoughts are just that
maybe the sparks there
but my timing is flat
I really don't know now
but I hope it is real
I need something solid
if I'm going to feel
for I've spent so long
Hiding in fear
Don't get too close
They'll burn you, my Dear
They'll scar and they'll tarnish
and rip you to shreds
My fears are invasive
and all in my head
The whisper to shouts
like a banshee's been scorned
How do I do this,
without getting harmed?
How do I put myself
out on a limb
Without falling too far down
That I end up skinned?
What if it's not there
and my instinct is wrong
How will I manage
to carry along?
With the hope that I'm feeling
I pray that its true
that maybe, just maybe
there's something to you
and that I'm not crazy
but right in my thoughts
but anxiety's ragingin
and all hope is lost
When it takes over
i'm a quivering mess
Will that be a burden
you're willing to 'dress?
for the way that you smile
Warms a place in my soul
it flows to your eyes
makes me want to know
All that I can
Learn, day by day
But I'm out of words
That's all I can say
