The last time

I held your hand like it was the last time

Cause it was the last time

We stood like that until your hand no longer fit in mine

I knew you weren't right for me deep within

you couldn't be my poison and my medicine

We dug our hole too deep, and now we're falling in

When I let you go we'd have crossed the line

I held on like I was both deaf and blind

Will you forget me when there´s no more hope to hide behind

You loved me like you had never loved before

But love is not supposed to start a war

What do you do when it´s a worthless treasure you're fighting for?

I held your hand like it was the last time

Cause it was the last time

We stood like that until your hand no longer fit in mine

melancholy sadness Johanna, you have experienced some pain I'm sure to have written this, it is great :)

Not yet thankfully, but it was inspired by someone that did, so I thought I´d write something for them. Thankyou Richard :)

[Rinzin Samdup]

The feelings of letting go of someone you love is so hurtful. Beautiful lines!

[Johanna]

thankyou so much :)

[Avinash]

There is a musical quality to your poems. A ballad of a beautiful broken heart I would say.

[Johanna]

That sentence in itself could be a poem, thankyou. It might come from the way I write them, by singing the words as I write

[Jake Kokoris]

A love that got too visceral it became nauseating? Somber and lovely

[Johanna]
