Within the wreckage

Within the wreckage I will look for you

Soul stripped bare

Grief surrounding you like a rising tide

And deep inside my heart

I will feel the ache of love

How can it be

That so often we sabotage ourselves

On the brink of connecting

Almost as if the invisible tides of fear

Pull us back and down and under

A huge and fathomless rolling tide

Which roars so deafeningly between our ears

I give you the gift of my honesty

Because I love you

But honesty so often

Hurts

Will you forgive me?

Can I forgive myself?

Lately it seems there are so many things

I do not understand

And it hurts me

So deeply to know

That today

I totally broke your heart
