emotional

Pieces

What can you offer me
Your arms? Your love? A gift
Token of your caring
Sharing
Your world
Words of comfort
Prayer and faith
Hope of a better tomorrow
Can you offer me sight
As I am blind right now
Seeing nothing but negativity
Around me
My being helplessly being shuffled
In and out of the revolving door
Nauseous from the roller-coaster ride
Emotionally crippled
In my own world of darkness
And that place you said I dwelled
Locked and closed
And moved away
Did you rescue me
Tormented by the truth
Shielded by the lie
I masquerade as comfortable with the way it is
I only fold like a chair and blow away like smoke
I lay here
Insecure
And trapped in despair
Pieces of me scattered like shards f glass
Exploded by the bomb
That rocked my nation
And brought me to my knees
Do I need to reinvest my belief in you
Or do I need to drown slowly
And choke on the loss
Breathe once more
No…
I rather wither
Rather than live one more moment
In the abyss of pain
Cry me an ocean
At the bottom
Is the answer
There in a seashell
My soul rests
