To hold you

By maddin foxxxy

Someone’s suffering
Someone suffers again
Pictures of light to the drain . .

Someone sees the figures are fading ..
His life is the same thing
And it isn’t changing

Something goes away
And nothing comes again
His way
Something he held dear
Is gone ..
Someone’s deserted
In his world alone

He knows he could reach it
But just can’t
He feels he could catch it
But just went

Something he was
isn't anymore
Something he could be
Can be no more

If i’d hold you i’d see the past unwind ..
I’d hold you and know
the future left behind
Can feel it inside the pain you pass me by
The look just so hallow to ask me “come through” ..
The kiss just too shallow
To follow my tongue as you do

If i’d hold on through your hell
I’d find myself
Through the mirror i’d see
You resemble me
A magnet to the steel
Your pain the same degree as the one I feel


Your figure, a shadow
that passes
through
your eyes just too beautiful
to let them fade too

yes i'm aching as you do
to hold you

    I wish I had half the emotion you do in your writes. This ending broke me.. so sighful. You are a beauty to be reckoned with. :::OLd
