Every breath weighs me down
I feel bruised with every thought
Yet your name still rises
Like a flame in my chest

Every part of me is cracking
I’m leaving a trail of emptiness
But you return the emptiness
Filled with care and affection

Every road steals energy from me
Like a promise never broken
Except you’re still here
And that’s all that matters

I’m doing my best
It’s taking everything out of me
And with scraps left to offer
You still support me
