Through Sickness And
So many ups and downs
Smiles turned frowns
I have so much to say
Then silence surrounds
My wheels are in motion
Spinning too quick
I can't keep going
I take a hard hit
All the while
Your pace is steady
You give me a smile
As if, to see if I'm ready
Where have you been
Where the Hell did you go
This pain that I'm in
Does it not even show
Do you think I am pleading
That I cause my own bleeding
That I chose this life
Or way of thinking
Despite the rest, my heart's still beating
No bumps or bruises that you're seeing
Does this explain your lack of grieving
Is my diagnoses just too deceiving
Whatever the case may be
Despite what you think you see
You made a promise
Before God, to me
To escort me through the worst of times
To continue loving, with a heart that's blind
To always look back, never leave me behind
But I'm alone in the dark
Time is no more
I no longer take part
In searching the shore
I have crabs for days
An abundance of shells
But the calm of your face
Is a forgotten smell
