painful
The fist that squeezes your heart
unrelenting
Or the hopes that plague your mind
harsh whispers
The fear that burns in your lungs
constricting
And the gut-wrenching longing inside
hold tighter
Storing away every word, every action
Holding onto every feeling how do i forget
Every single second choking on cant breathe
Thoughts that you won't let go
if i lose my grip i will fall--
Is more painful than the fall
more painful than forgetting
more painful for your heart
your mind
your lungs
so tell me why I'd take that pain
over forgetting you and letting
go?
