The Last Squeeze

Floating up Through the clouds Disembodied Here and now Surreal twilight As the last rays Peek At the end of our lives From beneath the horizon We lived our dreams Now We float up To meet our Lord We had no idea That it would come In the rain tonight That was not part Of our journey Of our plan Of our love Our wants Of tomorrow Gone To A skidding car Our shattered bodies I close my eyes And still feel The last squeeze Of your hand Just so quick Nothing was said Now I watch you Floating up Through the clouds Your scarlet hair Blowing In the twilight Of our shattered dream Everything We felt for each other Floods my being Here To the point I will burst With that love For you In here Our loving nights They shine so bright With a panic A blight appears To spread upon My heart In the coming years And you drift Up and away Amongst the clouds Even in death Love is so cruel 29 one thousand 30 one thousand Breath Breath No No You fool Stop My arm reaching Clutching Willing But You were gone Into a flashing cloud That blight On my heart Is my life now And your scarlet hair Blowing Shatters my dreams How long Can I hold this dream? How long Can I hold this scream? How long Can I hold And as the years Pass It’s all just as Hard As the day You squeezed my hand For the last
