We Run Away From Home

We did not understand
Why Rebbecca
Ran away from home
We left her all alone
Still holding on to her
Raggedy Anne doll


Bridges

Bridges

Swinging on bridges
All have thin rope extensions
Keep holding on strong.

Time permits limited patience & heartbeats
being understanding & holding on
Not hearing from you skips another heartbeat.

Washed up, run down
Run out of town
Holding on to the old
is casting my mold
I can break free
determine my own destiny

of my number one soldier
in hopes that I'll see him again

Premium Member Hanging On

So it comes
So it goes
Holding on that’s
That’s the real trick
And not losing
Yourself in the mix
But carrying on
A poem a song

Holding on to me too tightly
Having you cling to me closely
Helping you not to tightly squeeze
Hoping you would let me breathe.

Holding On Is the Right Thing

Today,
When Waking,
The Realization Again   
Overwhelmed. 
The Bond
Is not Lost.
It
Remains, Now
Changed, Not Tattered,
Alive.

The Grip

Holding on to a memory
Holding on to a dream
Holding on ever tighter
Holding on—holding me

Holding on to what he'd got
    he could not reach out for more
 
  And it took so much to just hold on
    naught was left in the store

I Remember

holding on to the past and
my loved ones.   Dad, then
my mom.   My father I 
see in my life now.  Miss him 
dearly.  Mom is in my prayers.

Used To Be There

Used to be there
But let go
Slipped out of my grip
But I wasn’t holding on
Tight enough
No white knuckles
Didn’t care
And I still don’t

Love Holding On

Rain touching glass
Yet, love holding on
From the outside of you, but
Now, her soul
Wanting you
Reaching out
From the
Inside world of you

Holding On

A courage I can never undo. 

Within this life, I feel imbued. 

With voices of guilt, I do not regret. 

A sustenance I will never forget.

Why wont you just let me go?
I tried to let you go, but

I don't want to try again,
I've already moved on.

Razed Heart, Hopeful Soul

Whispers of your skin, a piercing ember
Razing my soul, in heart's December
You spurn my soul, still I'm holding on tight
To the oath of your love, a guiding light

Premium Member Bird Brains

Saw two love birds arguing,
not a pretty flight – one flew
left while still holding on -- 
as the other persisted right;

the tree-trunk ahead held its ground...

Premium Member Patience, Truth, And Grace

Patiently always waiting for his own sincere reply. 
Holding on tight to the way in which he will never lie. 
More gracefully being even after I showed I am not shy.

Premium Member Holding On

All that which once inspired me is gone,
For who you once were, to me, is not here anymore.
Although it seems now is the time to move on,
What remains, still feels so strong.

Life In My Perspective

To live is to die, to love is to suffer
To hurt is to learn and to feel is to fear
To die in the arms of your beautiful lover
Holding on is letting go to the ones that are dear

Forget the Day

In early morning
we dim lights
holding on to night...
not to let go of dreams.
Remembering fantacy.
Sitting in silence
pondering hope
to sink back to black
to dream again.

Premium Member Holding On Tightly

Holding on tightly
Eager to be in the the throes of something
Glad to be gnashed by the tiger
Thrilled to retain my anger
For it is my most
Pronounced
Enthusiastic

Tired Walk

My mind is fried, my soul is weak, Searching for strength, I can keep. Holding on with all I have, so I don't fall through the cracks. dead on my feet. I walk on.
