Life's a mess

There I saw him 

Standing alone in the rain 

Oh ! How my heart ached 

To see him smile again 

Memories flashing past my eyes 

Blurring everything else 

The days we used to smile 

Without thinking anything else 

Tears ran down my face 

Remembering that day on the lake 

As it all came down 

The end just a second away 

Yes, it is true 

Seeing him hurt, hurts me too 

If only I could make him understand

May be things could get right again  my life, I thought was a mess

I wish they could give me a rest 

My own thoughts fight my heart 

My mind's all but a broken art 

I don't know if I will make it through this life

Not when everything is at the tip of the knife 

Will I ever be enough brave 

or let it strangle me to my grave ? 

But when I think of this beautiful chaos 

and then wonder if my troubles are all paid off

Maybe this is how life is supposed to be 

and things are better than how I see
