[Lyrics] I hope you mend (2013)

I used to be quite an avid tumblr user (GAH- Hipster!!!) and two of the people I had become quite close to on there broke up. As weird as it sounds, I'd literally drawn so much strength from seeing two happy people in love that it shook me down when I discovered they'd split. It taught me a lesson though, that not everything is permanent and to take heed in every emotion that you're feeling, because it's significant for that moment. Moments pass, literally all the time, anger and betrayal, pride even, takes over, but in those moments- all those feelings you feel are a reminder that you're alive. There's some positivity in that I guess.

I also learned that just because you don't want to be with someone doesn't mean you don't love them. The guy in this relationship was broken up with, but the female had only done so out of a need for self preservation. Apparently, there's only so much self harm (emotional: low confidence, etc) you can see someone you love go through before you feel absolutely helpless and useless without a need. And thus, you need to walk away. It was ideal though, because truth be told after he lost her he seemed to really kick himself back up, and he's been in a healthy relationship since (still is actually). But in that moment (see- moments are important) I wrote this for him:



I hope you mend

I know your heart is breaking
And I understand you may feel torn into two
But  I hope you mend.
I hope you mend.

I know it must hurt like Hell
You seemed so special.
Everyone could tell
And I reach out to you

I hope you mend
I hope you mend.

Part of me hopes you fall
Back into each other
But I know it’s nothing
Nothing to do with me

I’ve witnessed you break
But please, you’re not alone
I have faith, faith in you
And I reach out to you

I hope you mend
I hope you mend

Please don’t let this destroy you
I hope you mend.
I hope you mend.
