Periodically grind teeth
Shards along the ground
They no longer cut tough feet;
A mournful sound

Hands begin to shake,
You gave and you gave until
There was nothing left to take
The day will come for you to feel

You saw them low,
It was in the eyes
And a heart racing in tow
You dream of wholesome times

Shots are echoed
The blast was once comforting
No longer heard to be followed
In time, find belief in something

Like a phoenix from ash
You will be born anew
Survive every shattering crash,
You'll be standing in a new view

Hold your head up, love
Alone in your room
Your faith staying high above
Self medicate those old wounds

One day we'll be clean and dry
Our sins will not out live
We'll love without a try
Our time will come to self forgive.

Stay awhile and listen
An old heart feels young; glisten
Heavy breaths, pulse a piston

I haven't seen you for some time
I was honestly doing just fine
Forgot how you brought prime
To the feeble smile of mine

Your face, it beams
My mind, it sings
Your presence, wonder brings

Ask you how you are
How much you love the new world so far

You say you're doing swell
I don't mean to dwell
But you see, well,

You aren't the normal type
That makes me want to write
But seeing how you listen
Not a word of mine are you missin'

Pardon me, I'm inconsiderate
I can't hold my retinas
When you quicken my heart rate
Drunk enough, I'd gladly kiss you and etcetera

You loved me unconditionally
Taught me loyally
Showed me faithfully

Bolted every door
Never needed more
All I longed for

Glossy ****** sight
Erased every trace in the night
Kept at bay all my fright

Drak filled with bright
Hearts shined with light
Your hold was never too tight

All I'll ever know
How you raised me from below
Your tender love always bestowed

It takes a man
to walk beside them
It takes less time
to go and be back,
reminding them how low
they're at
I'll stand here,
Take your hand
You can follow me dear friend
I know the way
I haven't came far
But I know where you are

Hush little baby
Don't listen to what they say

Rest your pretty head
Numb it 'til it's fed

They're on their backs
You're on your knees

You have it bad
But you hate seeing them sad

They have no nerve
Just empty shelled words

Let them eat your apathy
You no longer seed negativity

Stand so tall
Your greatest downfall
Is never wanting someone to fall
