The broken girl is who you once knew
Never really feeling the touch of life
Happiness so far away
You changed the world
I wish I could wake up tomorrow and forget your name
Forget that I ever cared
Forget every memory
Forget that I’ve already been forgotten
The scares that crisscross up and down my body
Markers of pain in the past
You came in after and showed me the light
That I didn’t have to be dark
That my past did not define my future
Then like the wind you blew on through my life
Gone before I could catch my breath
A second, a moment
Treasured forever
I want to forget but I want to also remember
Forever in my heart if not on my mind
I will always be in your dept
Thank you from the patched together girl
