I didn’t make it
Cut from the lot
Standing alone
Not knowing what’s up
What’s not.
I know it’ll be over
I’ll pass on
But for now
I’m lonely, fractured
Having trouble to cope
To move on.

I wonder what would happen
If my heart was not whole
But fractured in many pieces
Full of anguish holes.
Would I cry?
I wonder would I die?
Would I be no more?
Can’t help but wonder
Some more.
Or would I mend that heartache
Filling the anguish with love instead
That’s what I would do
I don’t need to wonder or dread.
Now I do wonder
What would become of you?
Would you believe
And come down this happy road
Accompanying me?
