I am able to see inside the eyes of a lonely soul <br />feel the same emotions <br />take in every breath between the silent tears <br /> <br />wanting to take away the pain that is felt deep down <br />unable to carry it <br />trying to hold onto the lifeless body <br /> <br />listening to the heart beat ever so rhythmically <br />knowing its only a matter of time <br />reaching out but unable to be seen <br /> <br />your eyes tell me that you want to let go <br />nothing is being released <br />drowning ever so swiftly <br /> <br />holding fast that no one will be with you <br />pressing down on your own will <br />drifting further and further out of the present <br /> <br />fears have moved over your body <br />keep your head held under <br />slowly the light ceases to exist <br /> <br />if there was a way to save you now <br />allow me to take some of the curse <br />reaching again to find your hand <br /> <br />my tears slide flawlessly down my cheeks <br />begging to help in your time of need <br />grasping onto what seems like nothing <br /> <br />trusting no one, yet here is my hand <br />bringing you back forward <br />pressing on<br /><br />michelle dodd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-lies-beneath-4/
