The ones who hold things back, firmly,
And live forever with an ocean of pain and memoirs—
Lack the ones who can hold them back.
They love them with all grey hearts;
Until when frost buries them
Under its brown boots.

Those Who Hold Things Back
The ones who hold things back, firmly,
And live forever with an ocean of pain and memoirs—
Lack the ones who can hold them back.
They love them with all grey hearts;
Until when frost buries them
Under its brown boots.
