I lie awake in the debths of night
A pain as raw as the pain I felt when I gave birth to you
Fills my body
My heart ♥ a weight so heavy in my chest
My heart ♥ as strong as a lions
Or as delicate as butterfly wings
I endure the pain
I have no choice
There is no pain relief that will take this pain away
I wait
You can continue to drink your alcohol, your pain relief, until the day
You break my fragile as a butterfly wings heart ♥
Or you can reach out to the many hands outstretched to you
And make my heart ♥ whole and strong again
My heart ♥ is in your hands
If only you knew
