This Broken Road
The tears fall down my face
dripping on my leather and lace.
Why do I do this? Why can’t I control
these urges that come and take my soul
My desire is strong, and my will is weak
It is true love that I ultimately seek
I will never find it with a faceless stranger
in the dark of night or heat of danger
Shame and guilt consume me
this wasn’t who I was meant to be
Yet I continue down this broken road
becoming weak from this heavy load
Maybe one day I’ll break free
then I can finally love me
