Frozen Garden - Emily Jane White

It’s a complicated state

How the waves break

Sometimes they’re kind

Sometimes they take lives

Often in living hell

A giver’s life dwells

I watched this state

Crack and break

So lead me down to the dusty garden

Overgrown, aged and rotten

And here they lie, children forsaken

And I see myself as one among them

Shields there never were

I love you more than words

But now we’re in this state

And it cracks and breaks

For it lives, it lives inside my skin

And sometimes I feel I’ll never win

And often I feel I’ll never win

Someday I’ll forgive
