The scars of loss
have left me a mess
I’m dreaming while awake
and hurting every step of the way
I’ve lost faith, I’ve lost hope
I’m tired of wishing you were here
Wonder and excitement
are far from my feelings
My days are basic
and my nights are sleepless
I know I’m tough
but this road is rough
If you can read this
come ease my pain
make me feel better, please
