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.
