Keep your head up

The promise of "never agains,"
The lies reaking of alcohol and smoke
The heatbreak glazed over and bloodshot

It's too late for "never again"

It's too late to wash away the stench,
and bandages could not mend the damage that's been done...

As I vibe to the beat, finding sanctuary in the music flooding the room
"Keep your head up..." the lyrics remind me,
sending chills through my body, the goosebumps that are brought to the surface act as a relief...
They're saying the words I can't seem to speak

Trying to stay positive...

"Keep your head up..."

I would if I could get sleep at night,
if breathing the breaths I question in the day was easier,
if I could hold onto the dreams that only seem to bring hope at night,
but the fear of losing you shortens each breath while the memories of you haunt my dreams...
