If I Can Find The Power To Breath Again, You Can Find The Power To Put Down The Lighter

She stumbles once more
The uncomfortable pain reads right on her face
Teeth clenched, legs bent
Even lucky to still be here
In heavy foot steps I hear the insecurity of the future
The loss of reception, a dark house
I see it all in the blink of an eye
And we kneel down
On already broken knees
But we are unsure of the clarity
Or of even if there is a half or whole hearted apology
Living in life in fear of what we did
But doors open
And eyes close
I can feel how much he cares
In his arms I am shielded from the storm
Cause when it rains it pours
And I'm not even sure if it is a question any more
How turmoil and love can stand so close to me
I feel so lost and so happy at once
I'm consumed by feeling too much or maybe not enough
Her tears are ice
From damaged nerves and a body full of poison
Yet through every metaphor in every simile
I'm becoming more stable
Planting my feet
Being more secure in me
And through the clutter
In all the boxes
I find there is more than nothing left in me
So off the watery floor she goes
Resting on my shoulder
I'm finally learning my place in things
No matter how big or small the role
