*Mending Pieces*

Thickening, swelling, the pain is overwhelming
Take me into the fire,
Make me live, make me die,
find the perfect line for every liar.
Stay with me, fill your desire.
I'm not perfect, nor are you.
I can't take it, I can't wait, I can't fake it; I need the pain, I need to bleed, so I can show you everything.
But this binding grip won’t let me go,
Won’t let the truth inside of me, show.

Find me sane
Find me broken
While the flames around me climb, unspoken.
The hate inside is feeding on every grievance, every chance missed.
These things I swear, are feelings we both know.
So fall with me into the depths below
and leave behind the burning sun.

Out of sight, out of mind, I’ll leave it all for you.
For no one else to see what I went through to find this moment so openly in hand;
Fallow you to the place where bodies crush beneath the sand,
where rivers run dry, then fill with blood
with no steady place to stand.
Leave the silence
Find me broken once again.
Help what needs to mend
Now and forever, until the end.
