giving up
isn't an option
when you want to go home.
you've got to fight,
you're going to cry,
you're going to hurt,
time after time after time,
you're going to have to sacrifice,
and give and give and forgive,
and forgive and give and give,
you're going to bleed,
drop by drip by drip,
you're going to have your heart,
ripped to shreds,
over and over and over,
and even when
you think
you're finally numb
the feelings will come back
in waves upon waves
you will never be left to rest
in this world.
test upon test,
will occur,
until it's your time to leave,
and may you leave in the best
and the most beautiful
and painless of ways.
may you find peace,
comfort and happiness,
may you find your way home,
may it be everything you wished,
wanted, and more ~
