Solitude

2

For C.T.J.

You catch my tears with your hand

When I'm in terror, you understand

In pain, you laughed with me

You made all my sufferings flee

Your whole existence keeps me awake

From this world I can't seem to take

You used to be my partner, my other half

Especially when life got really tough

Now I breathe with guilt

From the tragedy you and I have built

What has happened to our grand story?

Tell me, do you ever even feel sorry?

I finally want to make things right

But I can't if I'm the only one who wants to fight

Please take my hand and grab on

Prove to me you're not yet gone

Cause darling if I die before you do

In heaven, still I'll wait for you

I'll give the angels back their wings

And risk the lost of everything
