The Survivor

I never thought the survivor would break in front of me
Her heart beat spoke ever so softly
This day never crossed my mind, I believed endless days were ahead
Her life stories unravel at the edge of her bed
I question if I can turn the clock back and end this nightmare
But maybe it's a sign to help me prepare
We don't have every day to ourselves, I'm afraid it's true
We must share and come together, especially when we're blue
I'd become your source of survival, if I knew you'd come back
Forgiveness, gratitude, selfless attitude is something I lack
Before I spent a day in your shoes
There are not enough days to rid our lives of these blues
I might take some time to appreciate
I long to remember your face, to captivate
Encourage me to live again, I'm stubborn without you too
Maybe second chances weren't meant for me and you
