Hand me your shattered heart
I can't fix it
But I will let every sharp, broken piece
Stab me and cause the pain
I see in your face.
Let me cry your tears
I won't promise I'll be able to cease
Their steady flow
But I will keep the anguish from burning in your eyes
Any longer.
Trust me with your aching soul
The damage is unrepairable
I know
But let the torture continue
Deep inside of me
Instead.
You can't.
I'm left here
Helplessly watching you
Watch your life
Get torn apart
I sometimes wonder
I sometimes doubt you.
I'm scared to death
You'll lose yourself
In this mess
And all I have for you
Is my eternal, walk through hell love.
And the crook of my arm
Where you can try to sleep your uneasy slumber.
Bottom line is,
The other day
Was a cloudy one
And
You pointed at your own chest
Asked me if I could help
You "there".
I was forced to
Weakly shake my head
No.
All I could articualte
Was a feeble and yet so honest
Apology.
Believe me
When I say
I'm so very sorry.
*this all came pouring out of me today. My sister is going through a divorce and this are, more or less, my feelings at the moment.*
