My heart split into half and my feelings crumbled,
With tears rolling down my emotions subtle.
My world fell apart,
The day my love broke my heart.
Every thing came across as a reel,
It’s difficult to frame in words; “how it feels?”
You tore me apart....
You wished to see me broken,
Bowed head and lowered eyes.
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries.
But, I stand firm infront of you,
With my head held high.
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don’t you take it awful hard,
‘Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines,
Diggn' in my own back yard.
You trod me in the very dirt;
With your bitter, twisted lines,
You killed me with your hateful words.
But still, like air I rise.
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear the tide.
Leaving behind the nights of terror and fear,
I rise into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear.
