Wayward

I go to sleep,
 With a heavy heart.
 Sinking my body into this bed.
 Where is rest?

Battle after battle
 The fight persists
 I can't shake the tiredness
 My bones are giving way under me
 I'm clutching at straw
 I no longer have the steam to go on

You survived
Because she loved you
 I couldn't brake my ribcage open
 For anyones idea of love to get thru
 Its a constant shade of night
 My eyes no longer know light

Without kindness human beings die

Who do I reach out to
 Everyones a stranger
 God is a memory
 That cannot console me
 I've been going thru the motions
 Running on empty
 Don't feel anything
 And it scares me

Wrap me in your arms
 I want to sleep again
 Keep me save from harm
 I want to breath again
 The bleeding doesn't stall
 Distract me with eyes,that know my pain
 Weave your sweet smell around me.
 Take me home again.
