a dawn that's breaking
a storm that's passing
a siren in the distance
an ambulance that I need
a doctor in the room
a bandage for my heart
an open wound, an empty shell
the tracks in the snow
the leaves that have fallen
paths intwined, crossings known
reality here, a life now mine
a broken girl, a space grown farther
the airplane in the sky
the bird to fly away
the stranger in a car
the one to always leave
the artist in her vision
the sculpter in her work
the stairs that I go down
the what ifs that plague my mind
indecision, the empathy
that clouds my thoughts
chaos and destruction
the dust left in the corner
the stain left on the ceiling
the halo I am given
tears that are pouring
a pain that is throbbing
vague memories and childhood gone
no justice in the game
no fairness in the trial
a sentence I am given
a lifelong wound and scars to bleed
vengeance fed and sorrow grown
my flaw that's your perfection
a moment I am forced to
a moment with no lies
nothing that is clear
a line that is a blur
a moment I am used
a moment I am cold
hostile and afraid
emotions gaining power
a greeting from the past
the welcome mat on the floor
on the edge and going over
at the bottem and no way up
time I've lost and mistakes that come
the disappointments and regrets
the letdown that I am
strength now risen from the ground
empty and alone but it will not be defeat
