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.
