Life has finally taken its toll,
Torn me down,
And ripped me apart
Watching the ones I hold so close
Destroy themselves as well as me.
These actions will leave scars, I know.
Every word leaving a mark.
Every phrase cutting deeper.
Every fight stabbing farther.
As I listen, tears stream down my face.
Aren't we supposed to love each other?
Aren't we supposed to care if we hurt one another?
Can They really be so blind,
To not see the effects They're leaving on our family?
Can they really not see
What They are doing to me?
How can we survive this
When we won't help each other,
When it's so obvious that They don't care any more?
We're falling apart,
And I'm starting to wonder,
Is there anything that can keep us together?
