A Broken Kind of Mending



I was hurt, this much is true
Trust was out of reach
And a glimmer of hope out of sight
Yet somehow I've found my way back
To believing in you and all you can be
And believing that this isn't the end of me

Thoughts may suffocate me
And try to cease the wellspring inside
Yet my heart keeps fighting
Desire overwhelming reason
Until heart and mind become each other's guide

I knew this day was coming
When my longing could no longer subside
When the rhythm would get so loud
And the song would find its voice
Leaving me unable to deny the truth
Unable to deny you

A broken heart finds a way to mend
Pick up the pieces and breathe again
It gasps for you as each edge finds its place
A broken heart finds a way to be whole
Resting simply in the love that still remains
Because each piece brought together
Tells a story that radiates warmth inside
Reminding me why I love you, heart and soul
And why a broken heart is a mended heart waiting to be told.
