painful

The fist that squeezes your heart

unrelenting

Or the hopes that plague your mind

harsh whispers

The fear that burns in your lungs

constricting

And the gut-wrenching longing inside

hold tighter

Storing away every word, every action

Holding onto every feeling how do i forget

Every single second choking on cant breathe

Thoughts that you won't let go

if i lose my grip i will fall--

Is more painful than the fall

more painful than forgetting

more painful for your heart

your mind

your lungs

so tell me why I'd take that pain

over forgetting you and letting

go?
