Disconnections

There's an empty place inside of me,
it keeps my heart out on its own
where words are written you'll never read
a place that's so very far from home

a place that hurts me, disconnections
like broken bridges to tomorrow's sun,
shattered lights across the night's floor
makes it too dangerous to try to run.

I think love got up and left for good this time
within the crowd of nameless faces moving on
with no energy to connect it to anything
even if I could be that strong
I wouldn't play with it just for the sake
of having something to do
so tomorrow doesn't come
neither does the connection to you.
