Broken Promise
Everything is the same
I can't escape
No fighting will
Is going to save me
Tears may fall
Only my shirt
Is there to soak
They drown me
Filling my clothes
Living in my lungs
No sound comes
From my screaming mouth
Imprisoned in my own
Home isn't tangible
Six summers
Separate us
Still I'm longing
For your return
You were my fort
My unmoving rock
But she crumbled
And you moved
Against your power
She stole our promise
I hold your heart
I carry it in mine
But it gets heavy
Please, show me
Save me, return
Everything would be ok
I tell my self everyday
But is that what this is
A cry for you?
A plea for Anything
To release me from pain
Or a wish?
A desire to live
Not here, but there
With you
In the sky
The moments pass
But not with ease
A brawl of strength
I've persevered though
Maybe I haven't wanted to
I'm called to by
Undying love
For your daughter and sons
I've lived too long
For someone else
It's time I live
For me, but can't grasp how
To breathe air in
And not wish it gone
Unable to understand
My purpose
Be my guide
Shine your line
I need your direction
In order to survive.
