Trying To Hold On

Lying still
Sans motion
Clouded sky
Heavy emotion
Starless Night
Painful separation
Trying to hold on

Stagnant life
She has moved on
Precious memories
Everyday delusion
Burning flame
Blinded vision
Trying to hold on

I took a moment and penned this song
I have been waiting to say it for a long
I am trying to hold on

Yes, I am weak
Never was strong
Just wanted to be with you all my life long
I am trying to hold on

Very nice write! But how long are you going to hold on?It may be wiser to let her go and find a new love to fill your life...Keep writing!
