Hold My BreathA Poem by MarlenaYou said you would love me and you did but I can't escape this bitter loneliness and I can't help this strange urge I feel inside you said it was all right, the pain comes with the night and still I tried You said you'd protect me and you did but I keep making scars and marks I can't cover anymore words pass through me and insults swim in my veins I'm used to the pain, it's always the same I'm wrong, I'm always wrong, I can't cover anymore I'm all wrapped up in chains Oh, I asked you to breathe life in me and you did - inhale, now, please. I told you I'd love you and I am I see it in your eyes and on your face you've told me through silence your disgrace, It'll be all right, the sun always wipes away the night I told you I'd protect you and I tried but I see these scars appearing and I know why, I hear words tumble from you and see your pain You aren't wrong, you aren't wrong, and I know why. I'll break away those chains, it won't have to be the same. You asked me for life and I've given it to you I'll hold my breath now, I'll hold my breath now. All for you. © 2009 MarlenaAuthor's Note
