rough draft

so hard to concentrate
hard to keep holding on
if I could focus for just one moment
maybe I'd stop noticing that you're gone

so hard to catch my breath
hard to keep moving forward
if I could throw aside these thoughts of you
maybe I'd stop hearing the same sad chord

so hard to carry this weight
hard to live with a tired soul
if I could glue the pieces back together
maybe I'd stop longing to be whole

so hard to celebrate
hard to live with these scars
if I could feel your loving embrace
maybe I'd stop wishing on shooting stars

so hard to count the days
hard to be without you
if I could erase all of these if's
I'd start living a life renewed.
