Hold My BreathA Poem by Marlena
Previous Version This is a previous version of Hold My Breath. You said you would love me and you did but I can't escape thoughts of loneliness and I can't help this strange urge I feel inside you said it was all right, and still I tried You said you'd protect me and you did but I keep making scars and marks I can't cover anymore words pass through me and insults swim in my veins I'm wrong, I'm always wrong, I can't cover anymore I'm all wrapped up in chains Oh, I asked you to breathe life in me and you did - inhale, now, please. I told you I'd love you and I am I can see it in your eyes and on your face you've told me through silence your disgrace, It'll be all right. I told you I'd protect you and I tried but I see these scars appearing and I know why, I hear words tumble from you and see your pain You aren't wrong, you aren't wrong, and I know why. I'll break away those chains. You asked me to live and I've given it to you I'll hold my breath now, I'll hold my breath now. All for you. © 2009 MarlenaAuthor's Note
