Love the Way

The sirens won't stop The children are crying Begging - mommy please don't go The violent tugs And the babies arms open for just one more hug And the bad man is gone now There's no more fighting for your life No more pretending like everything is going to be alright It's not okay what he did And its not okay what he said If you need to stop and breathe Just close your eyes Block out the noises The hate and lies Just inhale deep I know it doesn't seem like it today But everything will be alright someday Maybe not tomorrow or ten days after that But one day when you're least expecting it The day when you don't even realize that you're not fighting to hold onto your life
