Endless battle

I fought the tears back
but the dam broke
and it all came rushing out
without the slightest warning
and I was frightened

Afraid of the past,
in fear of the future
hiding from today
like there’s no tomorrow
and I shivered

It was cold in the dark of day
and the only warmth in the heart of another
I’d packed my bags
was good to go
and yet I stayed

I stayed because it was
easier to fight than
to give up and start over
leave your world behind
to trade it for another
