Slipped Too Far Away

This fragile hold I have on life, 
Is slipping far away 
I can't escape the misery, 
Which haunts me everyday 

Emotions rage through bitter thoughts, 
That haunt my every move 
Though all is veiled in constant dread, 
There's nothing I can do 

While visions dance across my mind, 
These fears have taken hold 
As hate and anger are to blame, 
My heart has turned to stone 

I feel I'm chained to pain and sorrow, 
Locked within despair 
The dread I hold within in this heart, 
I'd never wish to share 

For who could handle shattered dreams, 
That longed for brighter days 
That fragile hold I had on life, 
Has slipped too far away
