The You In Me
Pieces of my imperfection
Lie hopelessly on display
The inner me I've come to know
Breaks a little more each day
The air I breathe is poison
Contaminated by my fear
Each breath I take, my lungs reject
Knowing you're not here
Loneliness invades my crippled mind
And deprives me of my sleep
The night, reserved for reflection
All the memories that I weep
I'm not whole without your smile
And your touch that says I'm real
An empty vessel cracked and worn
Too damaged to ever feel
The you in me gave me life
I was the lost that you had found
I was the one who died today
Though they laid you in the ground
