BROKEN

I don't know how to fix this
. . . I wish I could
What are the things I shouldn't do
    . . . What are the things I should
You don't just break a heart
    . . . You break two
And I broke me
    . . . When I broke you
We need to work this out
    . . . But I fear more words would hurt
Actions speak louder
    . . . But we're not being heard
Maybe we are born broken
    . . . Maybe we live broken lives
Maybe we needed to find each other
    . . . So that we could survive
Maybe we are the missing pieces
    . . . That each other needs
To finally make us whole
    . . . Even you said we were complete
Lost in a moment of anger
    . . . Everything we achieved
Surrendered in a battle
    . . . That offered no victories
Bridges have been burned
    . . . And anger, well spent
Words have been weaponized
    . . . And hurled in defense
Now, the battle is over
    . . . Now, the storm has past
But not without damage
    . . . Collateral outcasts
How are you going to see me
    . . . When this dark night is finally
               through
Upon this ever loosening ground
    . . . Is there a path for two
That we can travel,
. . . Hand in hand
    . . . Just me and you
We need to fix this
    . . . We need to be mended
I need to love you
    . . . I need redemption
Right now,
    . . . We are broken
Without you
    . . . I am eternally broken
