Holding My Hands

Waking moments spent with splinters in my throat
 There with our wounds open we stood bleeding the heart dry
 Facing the water, hoping for wings to carry us towards daybreak and never let hope die
 Then the tow giants came falling down
 Took even the unspoken and threw it all away
 Thought it would take a lifetime to hid everything away to make the heart whole
 And every day without fail I held my heart in my hands
 Slowly turning pale
 Hoping it would miss a beat
 One too many and rot away
 Just hold me for a second now
 Let's not say a word
 Let me catch my breath, dear
 and hold it before it escapes
 One last time
