So Lost

So Lost

Fall away from me,
Hands are slipping
You’re screaming my name.
No one can save you,
I’ll lament the loss
Of your hand in mine.

I press my face into the pillow,
Smother a scream again.
You’re gone and I’m so lost.

On the edge you turned to me,
Held out a hand and begged
But you were too far gone.
Lost footholds and broken eyes,
I can’t remember more than dying inside.

I press my face into the pillow,
Smother a scream again.
You’re gone and I’m so lost.

Love was never mine to hold,
You slipped through my fingers
And left me with nothing,
Nothing but empty words.
