My Strength

The sun streams through my window,
Warming his cold touch from my skin.
I shut my eyes against the light,
Not ready for another day to begin.

Where's my strength?

All these months after he left me,
He's still trapped inside my thoughts.
I'm trying to reinvent myself,
Trying not to be the girl he caught.

Where's my strength?

But every single day comes as torture,
Each moment falls away like rain.
I just can't erase these memories...
Forget the hurt and the pain.

Where's my strength?

When I'm alone and afraid at night,
I drown myself in fantasy.
Covering myself in twisted lies,
Blocking out what he used to be.

Where's my strength?

I know you're out there somewhere,
Searching for your soul mate too.
But where in the world can we be together?
If we only knew.

You're my strength!
