Broken Home

I hear a car door slam.
As I lie awake in bed.
I know now that you’re hear.
A single tear is shed.

I sense what will occur,
When you stumble through the door.
You’ll take it out on her,
Then leave her shattered on the floor.

She’ll pick herself back up again,
Then come into my room.
And tell me that she can sustain.
All your binding doom.

But I know it’s not the truth,
She’s slowly dyeing inside.
You’re taking away her youth,
While she swallows all her pride.

I know she thinks of running away,
But she realizes it’s no use.
There will be a price to pay,
And it will end in more abuse.

Wanting You To Know

I know that I'm not perfect,
Many mistakes I've made.
I can't just take them back,
Only learn from them as they fade.

I'm the same as when we started,
And I know the need for change.
I want you to know that I'm trying,
I've just stumbled along the way.

I hope you can forgive me,
And love me once again.
I'm incomplete without you,
Not knowing where I begin.

I need you more than ever.
I hope you need me, too.
My heart is yours forever,
No matter what you do.

I know I wouldn't blame you, 
If you turn and walk away.
Just remember that I love you,
And you're in my heart to stay.
