When You Let Me Down

When You Let Me Down

My heart cracks,

some cracks will heal

others will become scars

a permanent reminder

that not all is well

that this ain’t perfect

like aging walls

the cracks open way

for unwanted inhabitants

to penetrate through

messing this special thing

making me weak

making me no more meek

fragments or our fragile hearts

keeps our bodies going one more steps

but how long can this wreckage

withstand the withering weather

when you let me down

and maybe because I deserve it

think of the dust that will never settle

think of the ache that may never heal

and if you and I are to share tomorrow

will you survive the rough of my tears

the storm that my heart will brew

will you survive?

When you let me down

and maybe I am no better man

maybe I too let you down

will this cutting and biting

make any of us better

or are we drowning

in the dungeon of our mistakes

where we can’t escape our pity emotions

when I let you down

think of when you let me down

maybe forgive my short sight

maybe forgive my imperfections

maybe this way we both will heal
