The Snow

Softly falling
So pristine
The snow rips out my mind

It's so pure
I'm so messy
There's no peace I can find

Tug of war
Back and forth
Why can't we just agree?

Constant battle
Tit for tat
What's best for the small parts of me?

Balance thrown
Hope unknown
Why is the ground spinning?

Swirled with white
But seeing red
Some times I think he's winning

Good for me
May be bad for them
And I can't hurt their hearts

Cutting ties
He's telling lies
The final push apart

He's done his best
To drive a wedge
And make this ending worse

I hold my tongue
And bite my lip
Try my best not to curse

Being bigger
Isn't easy
But it's the best for all

It's about them
Not about me
So my back's against the wall

Time will mend
This open wound
Though my heart pounds like the gavel

Out the window
Snow keeps falling
As I slowly unravel
