Shines Through

Lies I’ve deceived myself in this hour of solitude
Through the breaking of love and spirit
These words were spit from my mouth
The bitterness poured from deep within
My heart only to stain and harden my skin
Erasing the compassion
And ripping the joy
From inside of me
Let me go trying to rid myself of this frame
Wash it from my eyes
All the sad goodbyes
Make me feel again
(Leave me here
To reconcile
These unfinished plans)
Love broke me
Trials are in vain
I press on not knowing
What there is to gain
In all that I’ve failed
I have come to realize
Your truth shines through the pain
