Overcome

What if my words to you were empty

What if these dreams won't disappear

What if you couldn't make me happy

What if it's more than I can bear

Visions of past mistakes are haunting

As doubts overwhelm and condescend

Even in this my heart is breaking

As I await the bitter end

What if your thoughts were not mistaken

What if your fears become revealed

What if I told you it was over

How would you cope, how would you deal

Knowing that truth would surely break me

Stuck in bitter reality

Watching alone as my world crumbles

Without you here I am not me

Open your eyes and you will see me

Give me your hand and I will show

Lend me your ears and I will whisper

Burdens you shouldn't have to know

Know that inside I am still fighting

Rising above as love transcends

It is for you that I am healing

Slowly but surely on the mend

What if the past could be forgotten

What if it didn't have to be

What if the slate could be turned over

Would we be better with it cleaned

Growing through pain we will be stronger

Knowing this hurt has set us free

Finally done, our truth has conquered

And now our love is meant to be.
