Not broken

I dont talk about it
But it quietly sits
I stare into the backyard 
I still see you in it 
I remember the good times
The laughs that we shared 
Then comes the sadness 
Cause your no longer there 
I picked up the pieces 
That were thrown on the floor 
I don’t know how to move on 
My heart breaks a little more 

How do I say thank you 
For the hard lessons learnt 
I’m not who I once was 
That versions now burnt 
I made some wrong choices 
I thought them best at the time 
I just know that I’m human 
And it’s my time to rise 

At times I care too much 
Sometimes not enough 
Your worries become mine 
Life deals it out rough

I can tell  you the wrong things 
A perspective that’s mine 
I don’t claim that I’m perfect 
But I know I’ll be fine 
When you see me smiling 
It’s often a mask that I wear 
pain becomes heavy 
So I’d rather not share 

I’m tired 
Not broken 
I’m hurt 
Words left unspoken 

Is this the beginning
Of a new life on my own 
Is this the ending 
I’m stepping into the unknown 
All that I once knew 
Faded thoughts  , little care
Know that I’m with you 
Even though I’m not there 

Think of me kindly 
I’ll think of you that way too.
That way our hearts can rest 
Maybe start something knew 
Visit a place of forgiveness 
With peace & with pride 
Life teaches many things 
No matter what age we ride

Can I ask you to remember 
Only the good & not the bad 
Catch all the sunsets 
I don’t want you to be sad 
I carry your soul with  me 
No regrets for the time we had 
I know how to be strong 
I learnt from the best
