I struggle through this life
Each day, a hard-won battle
Trying to overcome the best I can
Can I lock this pain away?
I can't go forward, can't go back
I'm stuck with unforgotten memories
I can't feel at peace, can't break free
Did I lack what you needed?
Should I have changed for you?
Would you then have stayed?
Would I still have your love?
If I had you face to face
Would I drop my soul at your feet?
Would I lay my pain bare?
Would I not say a thing?
Bear my cross without complaint?
You could help me ease this ache
By providing much needed closure
You aren't willing to bestow such a gift
By committing that selfless act
This open wound still bleeds for you
A prisoner of my own heart
If only I could escape myself
But I know the scars won't fade
