Broken to Helpless
Feilberto Flores 1980 (IL)
I feel so broken and helpless..
I've lost my best friend, feels like she's gone away.
what once felt like it was heaven,
has now been filled with the darkest of days,
I don't understand why,
the road we were on has now gone astray
you were the light of my life,
the one I longed for and always praised
now your love for me has gone, you don't even want to see my face.
My heart is broken, I feel empty inside.
this depression feels like my soul has died,
my pillows soaked from all the tears I've cried.
No matter the storms we faced I always found a way to bring us back to shore,
and now the thunders between us, the lightning struck and I've collapsed to the floor.
Your words cut like knives
with the sharpest of blades
I'm broken down to my core...
you've dug up my grave.
My minds all in circles like if I were schizophrenic
the loss of you consumes me it drives me to be manic
a once prideful man now brought down to his knees
looking up to the skies hoping God hears his plea's
the pain is too strong, I can no longer endure
please heal us, restore us, to the way we once were.
