...oh if you hold me now

by Beth K Hannah

i fear this breathing
if only you could disappear
and then come running home,
I'd know that you were real

and i'd run helter skelter throughthebramble
hear the melody of the bluepinksky
I wish I could hear you now
fear would float in if you came,
And i can't handle my dreams vs. reality.

If you flooooow in and move softly
I could take your hand
this would caution the wind and the sea.
you shake this weak footing, illusion of love
And i hope to never breathe you again.

I hope to die forgetting you existed
and pray to every krishna of your demise
for i still can't breathe when
remembering your eyes.

they lie when they say love is beautiful,
that it is easy to fade into obscurity,
For your sequences and sentences
were my home,
But now I wait for my engine to burn.

Holy! This one knocked the wind from my lungs. I thought only SoCo could do that. Amazing Bethy...
