Same Blood

I pace this place Steps synced to the clock It's so small on the wall But mocks me as I walk And it's wrong how long They'll store you on this floor With no light in sight Through the closed hospital door All I want is for you to say "Just wait, I'll be okay, Believe in better days" What I need more of is time Plan what I can't define Just stay alive But you die, so I cry When I try to say your name Bad bruise, tattooed Now I'll never be the same I wanna hold this sorrow close I wanna feel it breathing Don't wanna get to know your ghost Don't wanna keep on healing "I know your pain, love But we are of the same blood You're always made of what I once was" All I want is for you to say "Just wait, you'll be okay, I'm never far away" What I need more of is faith Something will fill this space That I create Trying My best to break out from hiding Improve at food and outsiding And learn to be alone Writing At first just feels like I'm fighting The blurry hurt that I'm mining That will not be disowned Flowing The pages' gauge ever-growing The sadness suddenly slowing Inertia nearly gone Knowing My wounds won't soon remain showing My pen performing the sewing I'm moving up and on For the moment I'm finally feeling focused I'm over their condolence The future fills my line of sight So I'm coping I've heard each word you've spoken I'll dry the eyes you've opened And carry you inside
