broken

there’s nothing wrong unless there’s blood

they never realize that something’s broken inside

if he doesn’t get some help

if he doesn’t treat the wound

if he doesn’t wake up soon

his shattered heart may die.

--

no one wants to share the load of another’s baggage

no one wants to try to heal another’s scars

but if no one reaches out

if no one goes and takes charge

if no one shows him everything he’s still got

they might as well be handing him the gun

--

stored memories don’t go away at night on their own

and ignored pain doesn’t fade away with time

if you don’t let someone help you

if you don’t ask for our support

if you don’t show us you need all we can give

you might as well be asking us to watch you rip yourself apart
