Like Catching Water

A heart that’s wounded 

is worse than one that’s broken.

You’re stuck in a nightmare

And can’t seem to be woken.

How can there be trust

If it’s just going to happen again?

I know where this is going

Because I know where I’ve been.

If I just buck up 

And hold fast and strong,

This too shall pass 

And it’ll all turn right from wrong.

I find my voice 

And start to sing,

I learn to fly

With my brand new wing!

I soar high above

Getting higher and higher.

But the bigger I get

The more I tire.

I don’t need your help

I can do this on my own.

Things are so much simpler

When you go through it all alone.

Like catching water

It’s hard to keep up.

I’m hard to follow
and particular on who makes the cut.

I’ve searched high and low

The long list is getting alarming.

Must be smart, must be strong

Will I ever find my Prince Charming?

The longer I look

The more dismal it appears.

I don’t see the point
As soon as it begins it disappears.

This whole time 

I thought it was up to me

There is a person out there

And it’ll all be meant to be.

You don’t have to be so strong

It’s not all up to you.

Just learn to be patient 

Sit and enjoy the view.

Let go of the wheel 

It’s ok to loose control.

But because I love you 

What was half is now whole.
