Reason to Believe

My capillaries scream at me,
Forgetting how to breathe,
My body needs a reason to cross that line,
Nothing left to feed on.

Give me a reason to believe.

Burning turned into fear,
Empty spaces echo resiliently,
Tumbling towards the eclipse,
Victory shadowed by defeat.

Give me a reason to believe.

Overwhelmed with emotion,
Regret tracing every lonesome footstep,
Sticking sense of mortality sinks in,
Words full of empty promises.

Give me a reason to believe.

Waves crash, tear away the shoreline,
Leaves fall golden and hit the ground,
Confusion reigns in organized chaos,
Eternal sunshine of the eternally flawed.

Give me a reason to believe.

Believe in the beating of a broken heart,
Believe in forgiveness of missing words ,
Believe in strength of a weakened soul,
Believe in...me.
