A million little pieces

Too early for bed
Nowhere to go
Towards the same retreat
Where are we going?

Back to the old timeline
Old habits, old thoughts
We haven't learned a thing
We're back to where we've always been

A thought left untouched
Kept from being opened
Harmless and petty
Without bearing
So, we let them in

Then the cracks start to show
What was hidden is clear
Fragile and about to burst

As the tears flow down
As the gentle sobs emerge
A final blow
An understanding

I am broken
I am beat
Beyond repair

Struggling to keep my act
I wear a brave face
I take comfort in my pretense
I'm okay
I'm all right
I am fine

No,
I am alone

My heart is broken
A million little pieces

I can't save myself anymore
I need You

Bittersweet

By now
The fights have faded out
All the doubts and negativity forgotten
What is left is an empty room
And time that doesn't seem to shift

Solitude brings the past to light
Of times when there was more of me
When there was more to life

When two people grow together
Their fates intertwine
One soul shared in two bodies
Where my hand ended, hers began
I am missing what I've let go
Open-palmed and unattached

I gave up a part of me
Let go of something good
Now only time will tell
Were we foolish or were we wise?

A season of light
In a life half-lived in darkness
Did the sun set too soon?
Or does daybreak just take so long?

I lost myself
But do I want to find myself?
Is what there is to be better than what was?
Or should I just have been content
In the comfort of our being?

Fallen leaves abound
Spring come sooner
