collaboration with blueizcrying

I reach out for the silent stillness
In slow motion it turns around
As it gently takes my hand
Without making a sound

I live deep within this void
No song touching my heart
Paralyzed by the fear of pain
Unmoving as a broken clock

A fear that hangs from the broken banister
On the stairwell of time
With nothing more to hold onto
In this climb of life

Looking up from the abyss
Those steps appear so high
Little strength left within my soul
Is it in your touch that my hope lies*

But it's a touch that leaves a numbness
There must be something that I missed
As I find myself falling further
Into the silent stillness
