Take my soul,
crushed in your palms you quiver with enjoyment,
as you feel it slip through in between your fingers
Unworthy of my smile I laugh instead,
praying deep down within that things would return the same.

The anger flares and swells through my veins,
memory by memory my pulse reaches closer to its ******.
Your voice whispers untold lies, but all I hear is screaming.
Are we all meant to be empty handed?
Now Iā€™m not coming back,
Iā€™m just chasing,
what I can't reach.

Clenching to a unrepeatable memory,
the grasp gets more difficult to keep intact
I thought this died so long ago,
but reoccurring shame eats me.
Wounds unseal,
bleeding so much more then ever.
Hold me as it flows.
