Valessa - Glossary

Valessa, you wear your pain well

It’s under your skin where no one can tell

Behind your eyes and skeleton frame

Wrapped like wisteria vines around your veins

Ahead of you lies handfuls of tears

Thousands of chances for fate to appear

New mornings to weaken the aching you feel

But never will it disappear

And know that sometimes your own blood

Can leave you with open wounds

Cut so deep they never stop bleeding

But you don’t want to be the one who dies with a broken heart

That had a chance at healing

Your momma ain’t around

You were your daddy’s little mistake

The selfish can’t keep promises they make

Now your left to find from where you came

With no road home no history to reclaim

But Valessa, don’t let this world get to you

Happiness can be yours if you want it to

Because family is just another word for the ones you love

So open up your arms honey let me give you some

And know that sometimes your own blood

Can leave you with open wounds

Cut so deep they never stop bleeding

But you don’t want to be the one who dies with a broken heart

That had a chance at healing
