Unconsciousness takes over and numbness prevails again
Turmoil runs through every vein and breathing is strained
Emptiness consumes the place where hope once was
Broken hearts exposed to the acid sting torturing the open wound
Harsh words uncover the dreams of what could have been
Passion replaced with hatred leaving anxiety building endlessly
Heart beats faster leaving head spinning out of control
Head spins violently leaving breathless and confused
Hands sweat in anticipation of the next meeting
Stomach hurts as a sharp stab penetrates over and over again
Anger sets in and the need to lash out overcomes all self control
Words locked in throat unable to express for fear of emotion overload
Tears swell eyes as the control to maintain preservation is failing
Standing before each other with eyes filled with pain and regret
Mistakes leaving the sour taste in the mouth and hatred in heart
Happiness and unconditional love seemingly falling through fingers
Leap of faith to hold onto hope for happiness and true love fading
Forgiveness no where in sight to be what we could have been
Must believe forgiveness will come for family belongs together
To not be what could have been but who we are...a family
