When those old fears
are back once again
When those scars reopen and bleed again
When you need someone just call my name
I promise I’ll be there to help you mend
When you need someone just call my name
I promise I’ll be there to help you mend
I’ve been broken down
and left on the side
I have been tortured by my own mind
If you’re scared I know what it feels like
If you’re on the run I know what it feels like
I have been tortured by my own mind
If you’re scared I know what it feels like
If you’re on the run I know what it feels like
Sometimes the people
you thought would keep you safe
Break their promises and your bones and your faith
Sometimes we put ourselves into hands of destruction
Easily tricked into thinking they have good intentions
Break their promises and your bones and your faith
Sometimes we put ourselves into hands of destruction
Easily tricked into thinking they have good intentions
But if you ever need
a home
If you are tired of being alone
Find me, I’m shattered too
Find me, it’ll be me and you
If you are tired of being alone
Find me, I’m shattered too
Find me, it’ll be me and you
You are haunted by
the things that were done
You’re tired but now you can’t ever slow down
Driven by the ghosts of your past chasing you down
And the battle you fight cannot seem to be won
You’re tired but now you can’t ever slow down
Driven by the ghosts of your past chasing you down
And the battle you fight cannot seem to be won
But I will help you
untie your heavy load
Escape and leave it in this neighbourhood
We both know that if I could I would
Erase your memory but it’s no good
We live with these nightmares in our minds
Escape and leave it in this neighbourhood
We both know that if I could I would
Erase your memory but it’s no good
We live with these nightmares in our minds
We live trying to forget so that we’ll be fine
But from now on, we
travel together
Matching our paces, sticking together
Matching our paces, sticking together
We’ll take our time
Until in the end
Until in the end
We find we’re fine.

Tane, I need you
ReplyDeleteFears have stolen over me
Wounds, I thought had healed
Have now reopened.
I'm bleeding. I'm broken.
My mind won't give me peace
My heart just can't decide
I'm scared. So scared of ruining my life.
I'm running away
I'm hiding my tears
I'm acting so the world can think
Nothings wrong with me.
My heart, it may be broken
By what I'm going to do
But somehow I don't care
Maybe it's already gone.
Tane, please help me.
I'm feeling so alone
I'm in the dark
I can't see God's hand
I'm not fine.
Am I?
Tane, I really feel this way, and I couldn't express it any other way than in a poem. Your poem, was so beautiful... It's exactly what I needed. I'm so so grateful that you wrote it. Don't ever stop being you.

ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful. I like that you have explained why that person may have been hurt but that you have been there before than tie it all together. WELL WRITTEN.
