More Than Survival

I could only give you one thing

It’s the thing you never needed from me

Fold me up into an envelope

Return to sender with a lick of hope

Shattering I reach out for you

Take my hand, help me understand

I wanna feel the fire within my bones

To know, more, than just survival

Sympathy sits next to pity

Digging up the roots we once held dear

Hold a place for holy indecision

Help me live the life that I once feared
