A broken me

a broken me

Lustful gaze

across a smoky haze

of a darkened bar

incognito

I don’t know

but a broken me

and a broken you

won’t do

I don’t have the strength

to save us both

and you just won’t know

what to do

I can’t help it

Lonely words

on a hungry page

I see you through

a love-drenched haze

I’ll make it through

the crying days

I can’t help it that I love you

Bleeding heart

in a tortured mind

I never thought

You could be unkind

But I ll make it through

the hurting time

I can’t help it that I love you
