Broken Crown

I've lost my way somehow
in this messed up world we live in
put trust in those that couldn't handle it
and let the ones I love walk away

I question why I didn't fight or convince them to stay
and question why I just gave up and let those people
walk away

I've given up on many things, love and happiness to name a few
but of all the things I've given up whats missed the most... is you

I've lost my heart and my mind... shattered in so many ways
I never picked up those pieces, I just watched as they crumbled down
and although I cried on many nights
I still wear this broken crown

I once believed in many things although the thoughts were always broken
I never clearly understood
it always came out misspoken

I've lived with regret and a broken heart for too long
and I know the time has come for me
to finally move on

I can let go of the pain and I can mend my heart too
I can let go of the memories that consist of me and you
I can forget all the feelings that life has bared upon me
Put away my white flag proudly and smile

(WRITERS NOTE)
The impact of loss is amazing
and one can never truly understand that until they have lost
I have lost family, friends and love in one year

It has been the longest year of my life how on earth I stand here I have no idea...
