Slipping Away

He’s slipping away.

I can feel it.

I don’t want to let him go.

I love him too much.

When I’m hurt or broken inside

I just want him to hold me.

I just want to tell everything

That’s going on.

And I want him to tell me

He loves me.

I want him to kiss me

And make me forget everything,

If only for a moment…

As long as we’re okay.

I want to open up to him,

Yet I remain closed.

I can’t see him reaching out to me.

I want to hold on to him tighter, but I can’t.

I can’t let go of him either.

And he’s slipping away.

I want to cry,

I want to cry on his shoulder.

I want to scream,

I want to scream in his arms.

I want to die,

I want to die with him by my side.

I thought I had him.

I don’t.

I’m losing him.

I had him.

I’m losing him.

He’s slipping away.

Slipping away.

Maybe, maybe not.

I’m so lost.

Here and gone again.

Then back again.

Gone again tomorrow.

Don’t leave.

Don’t come back.

Stay with me forever.
