Heartrending

Sometimes I need to put a table on my head

And think back to childhood

And cry all alone under a blanket

The world is full of terrors

Darkness knows no bounds

I wish it would all go away

But the tears feel

so good to be alive

So good to not feel nothing

What had happened?

When did everything fall away?

Dont tell me my love isnt real.

Sacred in my solitude

Maybe you just dont know

Havent learned how to feel this good

Maybe I havent been able to hold onto    

It

Maybes thats where my dreams went

But there is more than that

So long I tried to run

Because like nothing else love is scary and it hurts

 

More than anything

Heart           r

   end

           in              g

 

So now here I am

Alone again

Wishing I held you

There is this ache within me

That longs to hold you again

And its that which keeps me up all night

Although I guess the coffee helps
