She
She is one of reasons behind the smile, that saves so many people.

Jennise
I had expected the stars to be close
Enough to touch
Hanging like stranded diamonds
Deep within the confines of
The rambling universe

Tea
having to talk about the weather
with someone who knew
*every inch of your soul
It cuts me like a knife when you claim you never knew me at all.

You can't force a feeling.
Your pen will not be fooled.
Ink dries in mockery
Of your obvious lies
Leaving an imprint
Like the ghost of a shadow
Of someone you wish you were
Just hold on...
People tell me

Hold on to what?
Hold on *for
what?

Nobody's coming
I'm not getting saved

But still I hold on
My knuckles are white
My hands are shaking
But I'm still holding on

I made a promise
And I keep my promises

You say
Just hold on

And I'm trying.
For you.
