A Better Day – Written August 2009 (Aged 34)

A Better Day

i let you down today
you saw me at my worst
but you know,
i love you
and sometimes life just hurts
you know,
i did not do so well today
a sense of respect
crumbled and fell away
you’re the only one i would ask
you can make a better day
you saw me at me worst
but you know,
i love you
and sometimes life just hurts
it seems like the bed
is our home and our friend
but when i am lost in my own head
i want the closeness never to end
you always pick me up
even when you have picked me apart
with you it’s hard to wear the mask
but you know,
i love you
