There comes a time

When I can hold on no longer.

I feel the strength

Of my finger's grip

Begin to fade.

I give up

Cave into the overwhelming

urge to let go, to rest.

I slip,

I feel myself tumbling

Through time

Through space.

And along the way

There is darkness

Yet still I see every image

Every line in your face.

Then I hit that icy wall

That cold water

That chills

So you cannot move

Cannot cry out for help

Just let the water take me

That is all I can do,

And as I drown in this sorrow

All I can think about is you.

And the urge I had

To make you smile

To hear you laugh.

Your happiness

Is my aphrodisiac.

But now,

No more,

I could hold on

Only so long

Through your constant

Shoving me back.

So I will go,

I will continue on my path

Alone.

Just as I started out

So many years ago.

The emptiness that my heart feels

Will numb into nothing.

And turn into a scar,

So tough,

That no one

Will touch again.

After you

After all that I've been through

And then you

I'd rather be alone

Than cry another night

I'd rather be alone

Than feel this way again.

And alone is where I'll be

For over the edge

Is where you pushed me.

And as I drown in this sorrow

All I can think about is you.
