a walk through time and space
floating and falling
hardly walking any further
but yet i still see light
then there's a thin line
a thin line to which i walk on everyday
tipping
slipping
just like the time is slipping through my fingers
holding onto what remains
only pieces
and my tear stains
if i could withstand it
fight it
with every breath i have to give
if i could let go
be free
feel the breeze without a chill on my spine
who would want this life
but my life is mine
not a day
or a week at a time
but it truly is mine
i just have to claim it
it's so close i can taste it
i crave it
and if i could share it with you i would
instead of thinning the strip that's holding us together
if we break apart what does that look like
on the inside it would twisted
knots folding so hard
i'm wounded
yet i push through
i push for the things i go through all because i love you
i love you is nothing something i give lightly
yet a gift i give kindly
given to those worthy of the broken pieces
you are the glue
mending the soul you did not break
you get cuts and bruises trying to fix what may not be able to be saved
it's why i love you
but because i love you i want to protect you
from drama and chaos
screams and echoes
but i cannot stretch
something will have to give
can i do it
if i don't i'll never find out what it's like to live
and i'll never know what we could've been
