Twice Broken, Always Forgotten

Twice Broken, Always forgotten

In the midst of my despair

You found me

Was at the bottom

And you lifted me up

Made me hopeful

Made me believe

In my moment of weakness

In the time of my vulnerability

You grabbed a hold of me

Felt safety in your arms

Thought I was ok

The healing began

Swept me off my feet

Gave me the strength to carry on

Reinvigorated my soul

Out of nowhere

You crushed me

Like a dying flower

You grabbed me by the roots

And ripped me from the ground

Now my soul is cold

Eyes have no life to them

Barely holding on

As I’m falling from cloud nine

The empty shell left behind

Of the woman you once loved

Shattered into pieces

Blood dripping from my fingers

As I try to put them back together

Don’t know where to start

Don’t know where the end is

How do you put them back together

When you have no idea how they were assembled from the start?

Broken Little Girl

Broken Little Girl

This broken little girl

Scared and alone

No one bothers to ask

The monotony of being disowned

Only worry about themselves

Come to her with all their problems

Don’t care about hers

But damn if she doesn’t do her best to solve them

Call her a liar

Call her a cheater

Call her a bitch

Doing her best to maintain her demeanor

Walked all over

Used for everything she is

Gives her all to every one of them

And there she is drowning in the abyss

Misunderstood and ostracized

Left abandoned and broken

Begging for someone to care

Instead her heart remains frozen

Her eyes tell the story

Of the broken soul inside

This broken little girl

Desolate and terrified

 

Cold Echo

Cold Echo

Look up at the moon

You’ll find my love there

Call me someday

If you have a moment to spare

Miss our long walks

Miss our silly talks

Miss you next to me

Sometimes life can be so petty

The cold echo

Of a closed door

So very different

Yet I feel like I’ve been here before

Stars in your eyes

As tears fall from mine

The forsaken son

Whose life has just begun

You keep pushing

As I stand firm

Trial by fire

You live and you learn

Impossible to explain it

But now it all feels tainted

Life changed in the blink of an eye

And before I knew it – you said goodbye

They say if you love something

Let it go

But what if you do

And your love continues to grow?

I’ve been at a loss

Since our paths crossed

Future is so indeterminate

Wish I knew if anything in life is permanent….

These Tears

These Tears

These tears

They aren’t for me

They are for your pain

And a lifetime spent in misery

My heart is breaking for you

More and more every day

I so desperately want to help you

To take away the hurt and the shame

How many times

Have you been broken down?

One day you will be free

Those words will be denounced

You are not the man

You see in the mirror

It is as undeniable as the sky is blue

The truth has never been clearer

You’ve been hurt before

Left behind by everyone you’ve loved

To be the special man you are today

It leaves me stunned

You’ve climbed so many mountains

Overcome so many obstacles

But freedom is going to find you

And you will be unstoppable

You will have my support forever

I will always be your shoulder to cry on

I hope you find comfort in my arms

And eternally trust me as someone you can rely on

Daddy

Daddy – My Hero

Hold my hand Daddy,

Spin me around

Lift me up Daddy,

Get my feet up off the ground

Come over here Daddy,

Give me a kiss on the cheek

Hug me tighter Daddy,

Your love is so sweet

Sit next to me Daddy,

Let me put bows in your hair

Play on the floor Daddy,

Let’s have a tea party with my teddy bear

Lay down with me Daddy,

Read me one of my favorite fairytales

Show me one more time Daddy,

How to paint my fingernails

Run to me Daddy,

Push me in the swing under the willow

I love you so much Daddy,

To me you will always be my hero
