I hold my breath
For just but a moment
I close my eyes and watch you vanish into the night
You say its for the best
You say you need some time To think
You say you deserve better
I hold my tongue and watch the tears flood your eyes
Don't leave me
I say
But you look up
Give me one last kiss
Memories buzzing in my head
Voices telling me not to let go
I'm suffocating
Dying as soon as your lips part with mine
So i hold my breath
For just but a moment
I watch you fade away from my life
Your last words still echoing in my mind
But babe
Whats better than a heart that bleeds each time you cry
A spirit that mourns each time you're sick
A soul that shatters each time a tear leaves your eye
So much I still wanna say to you
As you fade into the night
But i hold my breath
For just but a moment
I'm living in hell since you left
All the good in the world feels like its all been swept
I'm dying
Dying without your kisses
Dying for your caresses
Dying without your voice to calm my demons
Pieces of my heart lie on the floor
I'm too afraid to pick them up
i'm not ready to let you go
So I endure the pain a minute longer
Praying that you walk in through my door
I know i'm a fool to think you'd come back
But i still hold my breath
For just but a moment

Live Love Life
PoetryThis is for all those who know the feeling Of scars and bruises not healing And though your body is willing Your soul's still stuck bleeding.
