Without you

Maybe I need to find a way

To go on without you

To hold my own hand

And take care of my aching heart

It seems that for too too long

I searched in the wrong places for love

When all the time

The need to love myself

Was crying from deep inside of me

But never the less

When you show me empathy

When you reach out a hand of care

And recognition

It means the world to me

As it lightens my load

Just a little

And then it sends me back home

To myself

As I am reminded

The crucial importance

Of finding new ways to take care

Of my own broken heart
