I don't know how to reconcile this,
When it's such a complicated mess,
My heart is tangled up in this web,
It was so long ago my love began to ebb and flow,
And I grew weary of being tossed side to side,
Now there are steps to be taken in stride,
But I don't even know how to begin,
How to salvage this brokenness we're in,
I can't be the only one to try,
While you criticize and pry at the very life of me,
When you don't even know all the things I can to be,
So tell me where does this begin,
Wading in a sea of hurt and sin,
How do I start to pick up the pieces,
When it seems the breaking never ceases,
And how far shall I come before I stop,
Because I feel my heart drop,
About to open it but,
It's not unlike reopening a cut,
Yet it's something I cannot avoid,
So despite all that's been destroyed,
I'll open it,
And face the grit,
Laced in sweetness,
That a bitterness also covers,
But it's probably better than the tension that hovers.
I'll open it.
