Hanging on
Hanging on
By a thread
Trying to remember
What to believe
When hope is gone
And only dread remains
You strike a match
And let it burn
The candle flickers at both ends
For any respite the heart still yearns
Before the darkness again descends
Striving
Straining
Stumbling
Falling
She has forgotten how to fly
Forgotten how to try
Forgotten how to cry
Her eyes at last are dry
And finally
On bended knee
With hopeless heart
She tries to see
A better way
An brand new start
For former lies
She stands apart
And to her feet
She again will rise
Once again will come alive
She knows what it is to survive
She will never let it go.
