thank you for breaking my heart (july 2004)

thank you for breaking my heart
so that i might sink down
so low
yet mend
tighter this way
it wasn't for nothing
i'm stronger and new
coming around the bend
from impossible bottom
to insurmountable top
face to face with ME
i spit out the bad
and swallowed the lesson
everything absorbed
and i emerged as a force
unstoppable
i am jettisoned
at the peak of my life
moment to moment
if i could hold you right now
you know that i would
but you are so gone from me
as i touch this new face
i am at home
with my every step
that led me here
led me...back to me

Stumble It!
