Warrior's Worth
Dear warrior, while you weather storms through wars waged against your worth,…
Everything is changing, coming to an end,
yesterday we were lovers, today we’re hardly friends.
From familiar to strangers, in less than a night,
don’t say you love me anymore, it doesn’t feel right.
Falling to pieces, like shrapnel from the sky,
I have used up all my resources, my tears have run dry.
Take all that you can and go, just leave my side,
as long as you always know, love is stronger than pride.
I am not so weak that I won’t survive,
this is not the first time I’ve had to stay alive,
no, it’s not the first day of my life,
I have felt the worst pain, love’s a knife
Throwing out the pictures I still have of you,
setting fire to the letters that only make me blue,
letting go seems like the only reasonable thing to do,
I cannot keep pretending that I haven’t got a clue.
“Falling to pieces, like shrapnel from the sky,”
— Estranged.
