Limbo

I built my love on a faulty foundation and I wear your ring like a crown

I, the queen of a broken heart, picked yours up when you were down

You owed me nothing, I asked a lot, and you gave me so much more

Now unfinished dreams like broken promises, lie mangled on the floor

My bones feel crushed and my skin feels broken, blood pours out of my veins

A smile that’s lost, heart strings taut, emptiness pulling in the reins

You could walk out and shut the door, yet you stand still in the doorway

I hold my breath as you look down at me… Will you pick me up or will you walk away?
