May 2017
Am raw inside today
Bruised, shattered
Like nothing matters anyway

Heart is heavy
Heart is torn
Can I make it through this life?
Without the scars ripping open
Without all I have rebuilt being torn

I don’t want to do this alone
I need you in my life
My place to call home

The tears are flowing again
Down my cheeks
Flowing from deep out of my heart again
From somewhere deep inside my chest, it leaks

Wanting the pain to end
Wanting life to begin
Taking the leap with you
Trusting all I am to you

Vulnerable emotional
Don’t let me down today
Be my rock my comfort
My warm hug, my warm embrace
As you gently kiss my face

Disintegrated in places
I didn’t even know I had
How am I supposed to heal?
When am not allowed to feel

I feel too deeply
Maybe that’s my problem
Feeling and loving not cheaply
Gets me broken
But now I must mend, unspoken?
