I started on the cliff
When I looked out I saw the sky
I was young and life seemed a story
One to add to my dolls, to my games
I started on that cliff and
I looked out from the Statue of Liberty
and I saw an entire city full of
people falling apart how could they know
me?
I moved to the mountains in my young age,
and my parents tied my shoe laces and
made me breakfast when I wanted it
I always wanted it, and there were hugs
Lots of hugs
I moved to the lake, down in the valley
Our home was beautiful and simple
You took me into the water one night
And I asked you who created God
You gave me an exquisite answer
I just couldn't resist belief
When you left I lost my mind,
Lord knows no one could find it again
But I tried to start over and with time I did
I tried to love and lost, but my pain was not the cost
I tried to love and lost, but my pain was one I could handle
Now I am living on the orbiting moon
With my head held under yours, hiding
I want to live and breathe and sing and be
But I am afraid the second I walk away you
will leave forever just like he did, Just. like. him.
I want to tell the world I'm better than that,
that I'm strong, but no the truth is I'd fall over
on the ground shaking and not get out of bed
for days and I'm sick of everyone pretending
that they wouldn't do the same if they were me.
Where is the compassion in this world, please God
find me compassion. This is a crying poem,
It speaks of tears and broken dreams and cracking hearts
For that is what I have
