Shelter

Can I come around, I'm feeling lost,
don't wanna text it all, 'cause it's too much
and I don't even know all the words yet,
I just know it hurts too much to be alone

I can't escape the feeling that I'm but
an innocent bystander when I'm not,
'cause after all: I've been the one
who's been pushed around
and robbed of everything throughout
the last few months,

so can I please bring the Little One,

'cause we need
shelter,
we need
shelter,
'cause what's been done to us
is too much to bear up
for one heart

I can't afford to give in to the violent
storm of thoughts and crippling feelings
poisoning my heart, it's so hard to chin
up when you're discarded as if it's been
nothing, all these years spent side by side
building trust and a shared life,
a web of lies

so can I please bring the Little One,

'cause we need
shelter,
we need
shelter,
'cause what's been done to us
is too much to bear up
for one heart

And I don't want to be angry
for the sake of the kids,
but I will have to find
some rage inside
to brace me, lest it kills
and tears me to pieces
and guess who's pay the price for that:
it's the ones we vowed to love the most and at all cost protect
and it doesn't help that I can't know what your vows are worth

so we need
shelter,
we need
shelter,
'cause what's been done to us
is too much to bear up
for one heart
