HOLD ME

 I don't want to held

like you would never let me go

 for we both know 

that time will come and make it so

hold me like a lost soul

who's almost found his way home

not too tightly

not too close

For when daylight comes

I have a long road to trudge

I don't want to be held 

for dear life

for those who called me 

Dear,

discarded me 

when their need was done

and their want was met

Hold me loosely,

so that it won't hurt

When you lose me

I don't want to be held too long

that I might think I belong

for  we both know that would be wrong

for circumstances won't keep me long

hold me like a wisp in the night

the kind that vanishes by light

the kind whose faint memories fade

when you focus on what is your life 

 

We were never here

                              I leave a path of pain

In my wake

 Pain I cannot erase 

Or grab and take

With me to my grave

Nor wash away

Then I find only one remedy

Erase myself

From reality and memory

That you may be unburdened 

Don't be weary with the burden of my soul 

I was never here

You were never here

We were never here

The pain and I, 

We are both gone

…

We were never here

Farewell

 We started it wrong

This I know you know,

Still I held on,

Clung to your hope, 

Fleeting and flimsy as it was

It's a wonder

It took so long

I realize now, 

I know you do too,

We had nothing in common,

Nothing to stand on, 

Other than our thirsty hearts

And throbbing flesh

It was a dear dream

Now daylight has come,

And I have to leave

The feeling was warm

But one I have to cleave

The memories are sore

From mistakes I made

Though I will see you again

It will be with a heart in pain

And the shift from friends

To strangers betrayed

A reminder of bonds 

We thought so strong

Yet so false.

caught in between

Funny how we lose ourselves

Chasing between who we are

And who we want to be

Losing touch with what we love

Forgetting the favour in what we have

Then we reminisce

And get caught in the struggle

Between re-emerging and reimagining

Our present rediscovery

 

Then we fight with the image

Of past patterns and present habits

Merging into a being to love and hate

In equal measure

Caught up in the past and present

trudging towards the future

SEE

 

See

I am out here, frozen

Shivering, whimpering, whispering

Asking for a little warmth

Afraid to step in

 

See

I have been burned before

The scars are still sore

The pain fresh where it tore

My heart from its door

 

See

I really want to belong

I really hope it won’t be long

Before I start to feel strong

And… God I hope I am not wrong

 

See

I am a lad that needs convincing

You are a lass that needs persuading

Both our hearts are a little fleeting

But both require healing
