Bittersweet and Broken

Let me be,

But hold me close.

I am free,

But now alone.

I cannot see,

But I'll still run.

Bittersweet and broken,

I am lost again.

I forget what You had spoken,

And run into a wall.

Dreading being awoken,

As I toss in nightmares.

Bittersweet and broken,

This is who I am.

Let me be,

As I self destruct.

I am free,

But not my mind.

I cannot see,

Blind to the truth.

Bittersweet and broken,

Can I get out?

I forget that You had spoken,

The key was found there.

Dreading being awoken,

But called to live.

Bittersweet and broken,

What have I become?

Let me be,

But please don't.

I am free,

You said so yourself.

I cannot see,

But You'll guide life.

Bittersweet and broken,

Hope still waits ahead.

I forget that You had spoken,

Silencing all else.

Dreading being awoken,

I'll see me for once.

Bittersweet and broken,

Only to find the truth.

Let me be,

You never will.

I am free,

The truth returns.

I cannot see,

But trust remains.

Bittersweet and broken,

I'll find out once again.

Bittersweet and broken,

You take it all away.

Bittersweet and broken,

I'm finally free.
