Holding back the tears <br />From streaming down my face <br />My body aches to hold you <br />Heart Hanging heavy by the weight <br /> <br />Never reclaiming the past <br />We drift upon the sea of time <br />Wishing I could have made it last <br />Regretting that awful crime <br /> <br />Loving you so much was bound to kill <br />I was too young, it came too soon <br />Now I'm falling steadily downhill <br />Forever in darkness, no sign of a moon <br /> <br />I hurt myself when I hurt you <br />I'll never stop paying for that mistake <br />My heart will never love like new <br />The hole you left will forever ache <br /> <br />If I'm to ever love again <br />Forgiveness from you I need so much <br />The time is now for us to mend <br />But know I'll forever remember your touch<br /><br />Rebekah Parrish<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-first-11/
