lost beneath a crush of memories.
Alone I wander, wishing it weren’t true.
Wishing I were here with you.
The world sits heavily on my shoulders
weighing me down since you’ve been gone.
I keep trying to hold it there
still trying to be strong
but my arms are quivering
my body’s growing weary
and my resolve is slowly ebbing away.
You use to make me feel I could hold the world in my hand
but now I can barely life it off the ground.
This world is becomming to much for me to bare
its weight slowly bowing my back.
Just when I feel it’s the end
the load lightens from above me
A calm washes over me as a hand rests on my shoulder
instantly I feel my strength anew
and I know its all because of you
though I may not be able to hold you,
kiss you, see you
you still watch out for me,
still are here for me
and sometimes that`s all that gets me through
