Broken

Broken
By Eric Davis

I am truly broken without you my love
You are more heavenly than an angel sent from above

I usually don't write stuff this kind and sweet 
But baby honestly you make me so happy I decided to make you a little treat

I can't explain in words how much you mean to me
With you, I feel like I can rip off these emotional chains and break free

I have been through so much in this miserable and dark life of mine
I used to take the easy way out and always respond with "I'm fine"

You always know how to extinguish the scorching fire inside my head
You can calm me and take care of everything before it can spread

I'm going to be honest with you 
Sometimes I bite off more than I can chew

Sometimes I get to that point of no return and I'm right at the edge 
Right to that point where I'm standing at that emotional ledge 

I feel a light shine over me and take all that pain away
And for once I actually  feel like somebody wants me to stay

With you, I no longer feel like a failure or a burden
Like for once, I am no longer uncertain

You just give me a feeling of belonging and hope
Finally helping me fight a way to block out the pain and cope.

Sometimes I swear life beats me to my knees 
It won't let me up until I beg it "Please!"

I need you to stay and never leave me no matter what 
I can't handle the feeling your absence leaves in my gut

Promise you'll never leave and I'll be able to finally relax
Just lead the way and I'll follow in your tracks

Because baby I'm broken without you 
And I still have so much work to do

So for right now, I have to leave 
But there is no need to mope and grieve 

I promise you I'll be back again someday
When I return my broken mind will finally be able to stay

  • You

    You
    By Eric Davis

    The happiest man I will ever be

    That’s the kind of man that you make me

    One who is full of love and passion

    Somebody who isn’t angry but full of compassion
  • Beautiful

    Beautiful
    One of many words to describe you
    The way your dark brown hair shines and reflects off the bright afternoon son
    The way your teeth align to make the most perfect smile
    The way your blue eyes shine like the ocean in July
