• You lay only inches away,
    But you seem further than I can reach.
    I want to hold your hand,
    I want to hold your heart.
    Take your burdens away,
    And place them with mine.
    Just so I can see,
    Those blue eyes shine.
    I flipped through a book,
    That has no words,
    Just flowers that hold a memory.
    Of the days when things were simple,
    When it was just you and me.
    But the battles I fight inside,
    Cause me to melt into a monster,
    I do not even know.
    But behind my green eyes,
    Know that I long for you to stay mine.
    I won't go,
    You'll have to push me away.
    But I know deep down,
    Things will be the same.
    I wish I could give you everything you want,
    To make your life shine,
    Because I know that's what you do to mine.
    Maybe I'm dramatic,
    Maybe I'm a mess,
    But I'm trying my hardest to be the best,
    For you.
    Let me hold your heart,
    Next to mine.
    Each breath begins to hurt,
    And each heart beat breaks,
    As I know you are feeling a pain,
    That I cannot take away.
    The person I love,
    Is someone I can't let go.
    You are right here next to me,
    But not where I can be.
