I close my eyes and I feel your hand against mine.
And I wonder how it will end this time.
I hear your voice in words I cannot comprehend.
I feel your soul in a way I cannot understand.
I hear my heartbeat and it feels so strange,
foreign with this lack of pain.
I isolate your shadow leaning on the wall,
and I do not know how you could see me at all.
I wonder why we keep up this fight,
why we refuse, either of us, to just let it go.
I hold on tighter, my hands white with pain.
I watch the sand slipping away,
peeling at the life I've left behind.
And I want so badly to stay this time.
