Brick and Bone
Some time ago
I said no more
No more time would I give to the rack
So I started piling
Anything I could find
Until my hands were too useless to climb
But in that deep well
I came to know hell
Now I am unable to find the words to say how sorry I am for keeping you away
For fear that you’d hurt me
or worse I would drag you down
to my home of brick and bone
I screamed for years
Stayed clean bathing in my tears
But then I laid on that cold ground and fell hard to sleep
I woke to find
My body and my mind
Had been healing for a very long time
My will like steel and hands like stone
I punched through that brick and bone
Now I am unable to find the words to say how sorry I am for keeping you away
For fear you’d hurt me
or worse I would drag you down
but now I know I need you around
I am unable to find the words to say how sorry I am for keeping you away
For fear you’d hurt me
or worse I’d drag you down
but I realized in that cell of brick and bone that I need you around
