London Bridge is falling down, falling down my fair lady
And noone can why with their naked eye
But its all my fault you see I'm
Supposed to be the beam, that supports everything
But there's a crack at the center of me.

So when you wonder why we're falling apart,
All you have to do is look inside my heart
There you will see deep inside of me
That my spirit is broken and my faith is weak

The titanic is sinking, that glorious vessel
The ship that nobody though would sink...will
And I am the captain that fell asleep at the wheel
I didn't head the warnings, I ignored all the signs
Now I know that its nobody's fault but mine

So when you wonder why we're drowning at sea,
All you have to do is take another peek
There you will see deep inside of me
That my spirit is broken and my faith is weak.

I know that my foolishness may have well been
the demise of our relationship and caused it to end
I am so much better than the person I've been,
I beg you please let me try again, let me try again

There's so much disaster that i find it hard to believe it's all your fault especially when you write about it so exceptionally. Good work.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

I could tell that you wrote this in a flow of emotion.  Some parts of words fell off as you tried to keep up with what was writing itself from your heart.  

The content here is so beautifully crafted, so clear in its impact, that I hope you will go back and tidy the edges.  This is as natural as a river flowing to the sea...and should be heard clearly in it's entirety.

Great Write.

Everyone is weak sometimes.  I liked this - may you find strength soon.
