In these lonely nights
When I'm down beside myself in fright
Strumming through the layers of pain
I started feeling alive and gay.
Fell in love with me again
To the person I'd promised to stay
Banging through the cacophony of beliefs
Plowing into experiences deep.
Surveying the broken pieces of me
As they string together a melody
A record of an unspoken journey
Plays on repeat.
Years have gone by in a blink
Betrayal feels like secondary skin
Trust is in the air
And... I too scarred to care.
