It's been a long, cold winter.
My heart's got a splinter,
And it's getting more infected as the days go by.
It's been a hard couple months
But maybe it'll get better
When the flowers start to bloom in the spring time.

I ponder when I feel alone
Is life worth living?
Nobody knows.
Existing is just a gamble that'll leave your heart in shambles
And the road that leads to home becomes the one least traveled.
Everyone has advice that's supposed to make it better,
But how can it get better when we're never together.
In the end, we're all just doing the best we can.
When will I be me again?

There's a hole in my heart
And I've got internal bleeding.
I just can't plug it up and I don't know why.
My mind has lost its head and my soul is blackened and dead
And I'm not quite sure I'm gonna make it this time.

I ponder when I feel alone
Is life worth living?
Nobody knows.
When will you all listen and realize that time and distance
Are difficult even for the strong?
And how am I to even comprehend the confused words of a friend
When no one even cares that I'm gone.
In the end, we're all just doing the best we can.
When will I be whole again?

There's a choke in my throat
And I can't hold back the tears.
I don't think I can do this for ten more long years.
This worry suffocates me and my subconscious hates me.
I was never brave enough to challenge my fears.

I ponder when I feel alone
Is life worth living?
Nobody knows.
Months grow out of days and all the good memories fade
Until we're left with nothing but heartbreak.
Do I show them that I'm hopeless and don't know if life has a purpose
or just keep smiling even though it's fake?
In the end, we're all just doing the best we can.
When will I be fine again?

But then I see your face,
Feel the warmth of your loving embrace.
I'm just a lonely girl trying to make the most of what I've got
And accept the things I'm unfortunately not.
But what is fortune anyway?
It's hearing the person you love say,
"Oh honey bear it'll be ok.
Don't give up you can do anything.
Now isn't bad and the future is great.
I know because I see it when I close my eyes."

And a love like that is worth the pain.
There's no air now, but you'll breathe again.
It takes just a smile to cure a heart infection,
A comforting touch to remind me of my direction.
He fills the cracks in my heart so there's only one question:
When will I see you again?
I'm doing the best that I can.

When will I see you again?

This is a little something that popped into my head when I woke up one morning. This has been a tough year for me to say the least. I hope that a few of the readers can relate to what I am going through, and I also hope you have the chance to experience a love like mine. Life is difficult, but don't give up. It will get better.
