Separated by that which is necessary.
Necessary for this world.
Necessary for this life.
Necessary for a kid & a wife.
A burden?
Or a reason?
To live this life...

Maybe it's one in the same.
Maybe one day we could frame,
All this fight & this strain,
To look back & see what we gained..
& say we won the game..
Or lost.
The game.

We didn't know there was a game
We didn't know we'd have to play
We didn't know we'd have to stay
We didn't know we'd have to fight our way
Fight one another
Fight so hard to be together
Fight so hard to love the other

Words so harsh
"You ****, you *****"
"You're mean, that's it"
"Don't leave. Let's fix"
Fix what?
Fix you?
Fix me?
When did we break?
For goodness sake!
I can't take
I'm starting to shake
Tears that could fill a lake
Breathe in
Breathe out

Calm down
Calm down
Try to understand.
Take a hold of his hand.
A torn apart man

There's so much here
Years & years
Love can conquer fear
"You know I'm here"
"I'd fight forever for you, my dear"

We will find our way through this maze.
This pact is not a phase
My vows, I will take to my grave.
I will be with you till my dying day.
