Broken

How can I tell you not to hurt
How can I tell you not to care
You've been a hero for too many
For so long
Who knew you were so fragile
The strongest one I know
Is now at her knees
Asking why
What can I say
The whole world needs you
It's time for you to need us
The whole world loves you
It's time to love yourself
The hurt won't last forever
But your courage
Will echo through the years
Wipe your tears my warrior
Rise to see the sun shining once again

Mirror of Life

I've been lain here
Left to die
With no love
Or light
To call my own
My fingers dry
And cracked
Digging into the earth
Trying to rise again
My lips dry
And bleeding
Trying to breathe
Just one more breath
The sun
Pushing down my fragile body
It's suddenly blocked
A cold wet liquid
Pours on my body
Reaches my mouth
The waters overflow
I'd nearly forgotten how to swallow
I peel open my eyes
To see you over me
Your tears hit
My open palms
I ask why you're crying
You tell me you left me
You left me to die
As I look closer
I see your face even clearer
Only to realize
That you and I
Are one in the same
