Find a home in yourself

The wine glass is always half empty

 And I smile weakly 

 Although it's always enough

 And she didn't see it coming

 But how can I blame her so many years later? 

 That's not fair

 But nobody ever said it would be

 There was never a promise for the pieces to stay together  

After being glued with a little girl's hand

 And even now I would give anything

 To make her understand 

 So she wouldn't blame herself later 

 The talks are always poetry 

 Written in the air I breathe 

 They help me breathe more easily

 But they can also suffocate me 

 I guess it just depends on how I'm feeling 

 Dark corridors in the back of my mind

 They could haunt me if I let them 

 But I know them like the back of my hand

 I guide myself through them With hands outstretched

 I can hear her calling

 But I can't reach her

 Tears are tangible

 But only for a moment 

 Then they dry 

 Like rain they revive the earth I stand on 

 And when they're gone I dance in the dust  

I forgot how mistakes can be wrong

 Because I just wanted someone to say  

"No, you're right" 

Because she was looking for that in every wrong place 

 Until she showed up here

 Fear is weak

 Being afraid can be explained very well

 I have found ways to get around it I

 have survived that way for a long time

 But it caught up to me  

Like a flood, and the water drowned out the sound 

Of my beating heart never slowly down

 Because it's easy to ignore it 

when something bigger comes along

 Love is hard but it's not impossible

 It can't be harder than loving yourself 

 It's easy to love someone else 

 And I've been trying to avoid that

 There's too much that could spill over  

Like the wine glass you only wanted to fill once  

Now the bottle is empty and the truth comes out 

And you see your reflection in every stain 

And you have to say her name 

 Now it's her you have to face 

 It's scary because you haven't known her in years

 And you fear she died long ago  

But now she looks at you and with tears in her eyes she says:

"I'm home"
