All That I've Got
That song replayed
As my heart was broken,
Friends were lost
And I hadn't spoken-
For quite a long time.
Lost within, I would think
About killing myself
As my family'd sink-
Into sleep for the night
But that song played again,
Then everything cleared up
And pieces would mend.
Inspiring me to live
Though I felt nothing
But pain every day,
It was small, yet still something.
So, when I feel shattered,
Down, beaten, defeated-
I replay that song.
It's worth having repeated.
