Broken world

She doesn't really sleep Just drifts above the sheets Every creak in the walls Is a year she had to crawl She learned to walk on glass Heart racing at the past But she stitched up every seam With shaking hands and gasoline You don't have to fix her She's not asking you to try Just sit in the silence When the thunder leaves her eyes When her breathing slows down And the room feels safe again Know the quake has passed through She's a strong woman now All she needs is you Still She used to count exits Back against the door Every shadow in the corner Was a war she’d fought before Now she holds her own name Like a match against the rain All the ruins in her ribcage She rebuilt them into flame You don't have to fix her She's not asking you to try Just sit in the silence When the thunder leaves her eyes When her breathing slows down And the room feels safe again Know the quake has passed through She's a strong woman now All she needs is you Still And listening When she goes quiet Don't chase her with words That’s the sound of her winning After all she’s endured You don't have to fix her Just be steady at her side Hold the space in the silence Let her lay the past to rest tonight When her shoulders loosen And her ghosts fall to the ground Know she fought that battle She’s a strong woman now All she needs is you Still And listening
