holding hands

I'm choking on my broken life
my thoughts are lost and torn
I cannot stop the spin I'm in
dying to be reborn

I never knew I cared so much
at night I hear your cries
falling deeper into darkness
my words now sound like lies

rest in peace at journeys end
just barely able to breathe
I found that I'd been dreaming
when you decided to leave

with no one here to listen
I often crash and burn
these days all run together
it seems I never learn

hold my life inside your heart
my memories can't sustain
I long for warmth and passion
that hides me from my pain

often people break apart
and lose the love that ties
trust and hope gather hearts
while holding hands inside

I miss your playful knowing looks
and sushi loving smiles
when my life was truly blessed
I felt just like a child
