We Get Along

We get along the best we can.

A river of tears.

A cage of fears.

We get along the best we can.

My broken heart in pieces

I ripped it out.

I tried not to feel.

Love was always absolute

There was never any doubt.

Yet, still I cry.

Yet, still I pout.

The rage inside swells

For the truth does not bode well.

There are different ways to hurt.

We get along the best we can.

We get along the best we can.

I was frozen,

Was so sure that I'd be calm

That when the day came I would be strong enough.

When that day came, strength wasn't enough.

Explosions inside

Fears bubbling up

I put up a wall to keep them from getting out.

All my bridges burned,

In a disaster of my making,

There seemed to be no way out.

I became as a stone

I felt so alone.

Alone with only the voices.

The confused, angry voices

Of a broken vessel,

Whispering collectively

We get along the best we can.

We get along.
