Bridge after Coma

Am I awake?

The first step

Is the hardest

I am incapable of going on

 

Take me across?

Disillusioned in my decisions 

Fragile, this time I've broken myself 

I carry my own cross

 

Hold my hand?

I'm shaky and my legs give in

Understand i'm not ready 

There's to much hurt within

 

Half way there?

I feel your strength run through me

We're almost there

I can taste serendipity in the air 

 

God do you care?

Drown me in my own despair 

Held tight by a mothers hold

Feel so warm yet she's so cold

 

Are you there?

Only memories are here to stay

Was a time when you said you'd never go away

Then why am I here alone

 

Mama?

This is the bridge that's going to take us home

Why am I afraid that you're going to go alone

Another sleepless night 

 

Can you hear me cry? 

Calling out your name

Building bridges just to see your face

I never want to forget your embrace 

 

Is this my faith?

To live on without you now

It was my fault, so as punishment

He took you away 

 

Am I too late?

Mama i'm taking the bridge to you now

I'll see you as soon as all my blood pours out. 

We'll be together, happy again
