Always

Broken promises, filled in with lies
Say you’ll stay, leave the next day
I break myself to heal others
I build walls and watch them crumble
This castle of glass that is my heart
Easy to shatter and hard to fix
Family, friends, lovers, and enemies
I always let you chip away at me
If only to give you a chance to feel better
For a day, or a lifetime
The stone guards at the gate are always late
My walls always left with cracks
Cracks that they slip through
Here I am again
Watching another one walk away
Leaving me in my world of new decay
But no one will ever stay
In this crumbling castle, my feelings call home
They slip through, they all slip away
I rebuild hoping for a someday
