I tried so hard to hold you back, but to no avail <br />You slipped from my grasp so easily <br />Sometimes I can't help but blame myself <br />Maybe if I was only able to hold on a little tighter <br />We wouldn't be here right now <br />You wouldn't be looking up at me with tear-filled eyes <br />Tears run down your face, but they aren't your own <br />My heart is dying along with you <br />The snow is tainted with blood <br />I think, maybe if I hold onto your hand now <br />I can make up for letting you go the first time <br />Maybe I can bind you to me, keep you from drifting away <br />Maybe you can somehow forgive me <br />But your heavy heartbeat slowly fades <br />I can no longer feel your warm breath on my face <br />My grip on your cold corpse won't help you <br />Maybe I just didn't hold on tight enough <br />Maybe I couldn't hold on<br /><br />Akara K.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/grip-2/
