My Sanctuary

I need a friend

a guiding hand

simply to mend

(what is broken?)

 

A casualty

of a broken home

that isn't meant to be fixed

(why not?)

 

Those two words

that never crossed my lips

as she sipped

(please stop)

 

The suffering

not of pain, but of defeat

of anguish

(I'm tired)

 

For fifteen years

words have been enough

no tears, just be tough

(No more)

 

It's been bottled to the top

the memories i withold

enough standing up and being bold

(I can't take it)

 

Invincible on the out

scarred on the in

where did my pain begin?

(in a bottle)

 

I tried to be strong

don't quit

just grow up quick

(I'm just a kid)

 

I've been like steel

not a tear

for fifteen years

(do i have a heart?)

 

I haven't for awhile

after the shattered dreams

and the screams

(I'm alone)

 

Almost completely

except for a few

that pull me through

(they complete me)

 

They fill the space

thats been left hollow

by the man, and men to follow

(I feel, safe)

 

As she lookes

but doesn't see the pain

because of the elixer in her veins

(I slide)

 

through the room

through the night air

to the door of those who care

(my home, my sanctuary)
