Got Your Back Jaden Massaro

I don’t blame you for falling, Just for staying on the ground. I don’t blame you for sinking, Just for swimming down.

I don’t blame you for retreating, Just for surrendering where you stood. I don’t hate you for what happened, Just for thinking that I would.

You can turn your back on me, but I’ve still got it. I won’t burn this bridge until you walk back across it You’d better watch your back because I’ll stand my ground I won’t leave these crossroads until you turn back around

And when you step back onto that path, wait for me–I’ll be your solid ground, your bridge to safety. With only my hands between us and defeat I’ll be there, even if we crumble under their feet.

I’ll never blame you for falling, Just to stay down for good. I’ll never hate you for what happens, Just for thinking that I could.

Throat on fire

Screaming for the lost

The sky unchanging

Unsympathetic to the pain

The world faulted for turning

No one else to blame

Rain falling on marble cheeks

Pleading for the taken

“A life for a life”

Waves of unanswered questions

Drowning in sorrow

The sea asking to stop churning

A single seed of truth in barren land

Growing on cracked lips

The words of acceptance

Ivy covering the lifeless grief

Death and life intertwined

Your legacy a garden to your memories
