Holding You
I am sorry I gave you the cold shoulder and now I murmur
I was in hot lava in my broken-apart heart that was tough
I want to be devoted to you, my long lost lover…my lover…
I was keeping myself from crying and it felt good enough
Holding you is the pathway to my heart
Holding you is my home from the start
Holding you is the day I’ll feel so much better
Holding you is the night I won’t be a regretter
Unbearable thoughts barrel through my head
Split apart your ribcage and let me come in
Guilt overflows with a spark of revilement instead
Rip apart the insides of negativity from within
Holding you down is the fervent footsteps to the unknown
Holding you is the depths of love and no room for despair
Holding you embraces solitude and happiness is shown
Holding on to you is so far away from my reach without a care
I am sorry I had to let you know that I care dearly for you,
Yet I abandoned you with my words of uncertainty…words of uncanny envy
I’m walking on thin ice and eggshells just to get to you too
I bet you hate the fact that I faced frustration of wanting to be truly free
Holding you makes me feel loved again…chastening desire deep down once again
Holding you makes beloved auras wrap around my mind
Holding you shakes my inner core, above all my limits — so, where have you been?
Emboldening by the minute and holding on to you so kind
Wandering in a wintry wonderland of wistfulness,
Wondering when you’ll set me free before I languish
Pondering time after time, roaming aimlessly…in hopelessness…
Meandering through the woods of my utter anguish
Holding you like I do
Was only a dream I had, so take my ever-quaking, withering hand
I thought it was true
Until I noticed you with another man — that, I’d never understand
I long to be with you and I hold on to you
But, you let me down with a wretched, broken vow
Sick with the awful love flu out of the blue
Wearing a frown crown somehow…somehow…
Darling, if only you knew the things you do
Apparently, I mean nothing to you right now
Care to show me around town with a helping hand so true?
I’m like a candle without a wick and flame…I’m like a biker without sweat on his brow…
Without you here, holding me close anyhow
Without me there, holding you as I take a bow
Grind my gears of hopefulness from above
Be my one and only fearless cheer, my love
Our tranquil love appeal reveals to me how we feel, how we feel
We feel at one with each other like the darkest seas to the eel
Hours pass us by as we locked hands in our little liberty land…I thought you truly cared
Flowers and grass landed on our entangled bodies — that’s true love we shared
Our grace-laced gravity heals all strife’s wounds
The silvery sword of shamelessness obtunds
Regrets and sorrows of the always-bleeding, depthless-breeding past
Our love for each other was long gone, but it was oh so tremendously vast
