I'm not broken
Just hard to understand
And I often see my words unspoken
And feel the bitterness will never end

So, even if I wonder
How far my legs will stand
I still know
That I'm not broken
Just hard to understand

Words stop
Throat shouts
Head whirls
Reality curls

Tears could be shed
In front of their heads
And then they'd know
How deep the hole goes

So I hold it in
Only letting them reach brim
And I pause my head
Check reality instead
I wrote this a while ago

I love you more than words can say
More than actions could convey
And more than
Anyone could every say
They love you
I miss you

You're not gone
But living through my veins
So when people ask where you are
I say nothing really changed

Though you're gone
Your memories fill us
With join and pain alike
But that's how we know
That you lived a successful life

It was only when I turned to call your name
That I remembered you were gone away
Lost through time
I need to stop living
In this lie

I don't see myself in words
But rather in the landscapes of our world
The things that surround my soul
And make me and this world whole

I don't see myself in words
For their meanings ******* me
Wrap me in their hold
Try to confine me
When there's still so many words untold

I don't see myself in words
For those words aren't every part
They're only some of who you see

And there's no words to describe
All the things
That set me free
Don't let words define you.

Despite it all
I'd never take the days back
I'd never wish away the pain
For even when she's faded
I'll know that at least there was a day
When she looked at me
With the utmost care
And I would laugh through the days
Thinking she would always be there
