Tether

I am your tragedy
A feather trapped inside a well
a space between my heart and mind
I ache for your smile

I promise to cherish you
and every breath that you take
I promise to hold you at night
and never let go 'til we wake

But I am broken, broken
and I am hurting, hurting
save me and I'll love you
I'm a heart full of empty
that can only be filled by you.

I dreamt of your eyes on me,
your sweet, warm embrace
and I don't want to wake up
Let me sleep 'til I'm gone

Too many hurts and wounds
I can not soar on my own
Somebody please come catch me
a feather lost in the dark

Help me out of this free fall
Cast me an upward wind
Love me, and I shall love you
and never let go 'til we wake

And I'm still hurting, hurting
I'm still falling, falling down
Hear my heart break without you
Unravelled, undone
But still I can't help but love you

And I'm broken, broken now
and I'm hurting, hurting now
There's a hole in my heart
and my soul's bleeding out
I'm a feather that's drifting down

In a space between my heart and mind
can you hear me crying out?
can you break me, break me out?
Can you love this broken heart?
