Broken, but not lost

Outspoken, count the cot

Reach for the stars

Reality drifted far

Whispers shattered 

What once mattered

You break my wings 

Then quickly swing 

Back down 

To save me before I drown

Carry me home

Restore my weary bones

Mend my wings

And promise me 

Things that will apply 

To only you and I

Kiss the sky

In blinded light

Come break my chains

Before I go insane

Take me with you

Let your word stay true

I'll cling to your arm

Through safety or harm

This will make sense when I'm older

Why you let me cry on your shoulder

Maybe I'll understand 

Why you cling to my hand

When I look into your eyes

While tears fill in mine

A tender touch on my face

As I wonder in pain

You're there to break me

When things are good as can be

Yet you come pick me up again

When it all feels like the end

You set my soul on fire

Till my need for help is dire

Watching as I cry 

Desperately wondering why

Yet you also are there to hold tight

And keep me close to you through the fight

You stand with me through the pain

When there's nowhere else to cling

You kick me down

But then you pull me up off the ground 

You push me off the edge

But the you fly me above the ledge

Take me back

Show me what I lack 

In what I yearn

And things I learn

Free me from this prison

Let my heart be risen

From what I know 

Wherever I go

I won't ask to never face trial

Just hold me all the while

Let my mind be secure 

Knowing that I can endure

For love is pain

Both loss and gain

Though love is also beauty 

A gift all while duty

Love can bring

The best of things

But also the most dark 

And hard

Trial brings growth

A heart's persistent oath

That for each person shows

How far you can go

Love builds and breaks

But never fakes

A constant never lost,

Freedom's cost.
