Hanging On

You just want to be done,
All that you keep inside you want to be numb,
I wish I was a good enough friend,
That I could bring your pain to an end.

You can't come to grips that she's gone,
Sometimes tragedy keeps us holding on;
Hanging onto what means the most to our hearts,
Is all we know to do when our world falls apart.

The pain caged inside is released in different ways,
But we can't be honest about it these days;
Not even with ourselves,
We just hope that we can find help.

Deep down our regrets eat away,
And we don't notice it causing decay,
When we notice it is far too late,
What we once had is lost to pseudofate.

I can't help if you don't let me,
I need your trust to try and flee,
The Toni that is waiting inside,
Hand in hand with the love that died.
