My heart hurts
And my throat burns with tears
But I want to keep the tears at bay
I’ll let it fall when the end truly nears
Try as I might , nothing is good enough
Nothing that I do
Seems good enough for you
However I know my worth
You are who I must leave behind
It hurts much more than having to give birth
I know leaving you is the best thing for us
I will shut my eyes and close my heart
Pretend that you are here
Until I heal from you , until I can no longer feel you near
The soldier inside me is rising above the pain
Raging through the fire, swimming past the shame
