survive




you have broken my soul
and blackened my heart
you have caused me so much pain

all I ever did was give you my love
and welcomed you into my life
yet in return you have hurt me
far beyond repair

then to make things worse
god has forsaken me
to always walk alone
and live a life full of regret
where did I go wrong

I have all these people
who are counting on me
yet I can no longer hold on

I could see my future
oh so clearly
yet now all I see is darkness

what do I do
please tell me because
I don't know how much
longer I can survive
