We Are The Broken
I watched the screaming,
The lies, deceit, and the pain it’s bringing.
I’ve watched us fall from faith.
I watched us, our red ribbon of fabricated blood break.
I’ve watched the hideous names run across the room,
I’ve watched babies be born too soon.
I’ve seen you when you were about to break
From the love and heart he seemed to take.
I’ve seen him when he was on his knees
Begging for you not to leave.
I’ve seen what it means to have a home
And these things are all I’ve ever known.
But you didn't see me behind that door –
Wishing our family would be whole once more.
You didn't see when I lost my fragile mind
Or the painful scars we leave behind.
You didn't see the secrets I held so dear,
Now, all that you left is a wreckage here.
