I believe

Yes I would believe you if you said you were tired

Yes I'd believe you if you said you were alone

Yes I'd believe you if you said you didn't belong here

You were born into this world

A beautiful creature to crave

A monster stole your soul early

A lifetime of sadness pain sorrow

Self esteem was left on low, never able to feel safe or grow

Alcohol and drugs - the sources of immensity; a moment of superiority

A MOMENT away from yourself

Would I believe you if you said you were tired

Would I believe you if you said you were alone

Would I believe you if you said you'd lost your way

I'd say Yes. I believe that's why you're dead today

Author notes

They played Lifehouse's "Sick Cycle Carousel" at my ex-husbands memorial. I guess this is the song that he played for his relatives before he went missing a year and a half ago. He was never good with words, but used songs to express his feelings. This is what the song made me think when I listened to it (before I printed out the lyrics) and coupled it with the meaning behind what he was trying to convey.

Do you find any depth or meaning in this write?
