Letting go, holding on

Burning, my heart is a flame,

waiting to feel, wanting to know.

Seeking, my soul wanders alone,

desperately finding a reason to hold on.

Falling, my tears in your storm,

wading endlessly as time forgets.

Leaving, dreams wake me to reality,

deathly shallow waters cold without regret.

Darkness, eyes seeing what never I could see,

a path only found in a time that time forgot.

Calling, your love waits for me to undo the pain,

grasping you close my arms won’t let go.
