Try Again.

My hands are shaking
My body’s trembling
My lips are quivering
My head is pounding

My scars remind me
Of a past gone wrong

My heart is calling
For what it’s wanted all along

My thoughts are racing
Through my head

I’m tossing and turning
As I lay in my bed

My warm tears are falling
Down my body that’s so cold

I can only hear my whisper
In this room I am alone

These dark walls are closing in
I can feel my breath give out

My mind is being filled
With all of this doubt

Going through life
Putting shame upon myself

And all I did
Was put her through hell

All I want is one moment
To put a smile on her face

One chance to show her
That the demons have been replaced

I see a light shine through
As the walls begin to expand

She is standing there
Reaching out her hand

Then I open my eyes
To this new world I’m in

Maybe now
We can try again
