Slipped Too Far Away

This fragile hold I have on life,

Is slipping far away

I can't escape the misery,

Which plagues me everyday

Emotions rage through bitter thoughts,

That haunt my every move

Though all is veiled in constant dread,

There's nothing I can do

While visions dance across my mind,

These fears have taken hold

That hate and anger are to blame,

For my heart turning to stone

I feel I'm chained to pain and sorrow,

And locked within despair

The dread I hold within this heart,

I'd never wish to share

For who could handle shattered dreams,

That long for brighter days

Since this fragile hold I had on life,

Has slipped too far away
