Affliction

Yes I'm down and yes I feel broken
For all the years words needed to be said had in fact remained unspoken
Now they have been said as to the way I feel and why
For the most part my eyes thus far have seemed to remain quite dry
Tears I will not allow myself most times to no longer cry
Deep in my heart I know for a fact we belong by one anothers side
To my feelings I must abide
And believe me when I say it can be a lonely and extremely wild ride
I close my eyes and what do I see
I see you right here all the time here with me
So even if I feel broken and my heart may seem to be tore
On you it's not the easy to once again shut that door
I just can't do that this time as I have done before
A single battle in this moment maybe lost but I'm still fighting the war
Breathing may seem shallow and my eyes maybe closed but I'm far from being dead
Although for so long now my heart and soul for you has tremendously bled
You are still the one I know I'm supposed to be with forever
And together we are supposed to ride out the stormy weather
Yes you are my very pain, my every drug I need, my addiction
But I don't put that off on you cause this is my infliction
I would put myself through this always because I know for me you will forevermore be my
