Hold Onto MeA Poem by Michael (Letters and Lifelines)Now that all my time has slipped away, Do you have some you could lend? Cause you said you learned from your mistakes, But you make them all again. And people you’ve avoided all your life, Become your closest friends. And we’re all wounded soldiers, Who are waiting for time to heal. Caught up in fighting for what we think is real. But if you get tired and lonely, You can hold onto me. And we can pretend that we’re free. And the moment I allowed to pass me by, Is now my big regret. Cause when you’re expecting way too much, Nothing’s what you get. And I wish you’d remember all those dreams, I never thought you’d forget. Now you’ve learned the hard way, That you can’t buy their sympathy. Cause we all get lost in who we want to be. But if these days become too long, You can hold onto me. And we can pretend that we’re free. Sometimes we only know that we’re alive, When we feel the pain. Did you find yourself while you were gone? Do you like who you became? And how does it make you feel to know, That nothing stays the same? Don’t you get tired of living, For things that will never be? And we all fall into that hole in history. But if this world leaves you empty, You can hold onto me. And we can pretend that we’re free. That person standing next to you, Is all I hoped to be. It’s hard to live alone but I’ll be fine, Just pretending that I’m free. © 2013 Michael (Letters and Lifelines)Reviews
