to the way things were
it returns sizzling into our hands
so we can make the mistake
we did before
giving away the things that
holds us in place
taking risk but not the right ones
pushing away the hands of it all
looking into my face
with emptiness
i touch you wanting to hold on
but it burns it burns my hands
so i step back let you go
into the fire you step
and i watch you
cant do nothing to save you
i forgot how
to lose you is to never love again
holding onto your scent
i watch you dissapear
into the red


I do not need shine or wealth, just a pen and some paper for my health

very interesting write...I found these words so intriguing:

"cant do nothing to save you
i forgot how"

how haunting...
