Rhymes

The rhymes never did save a soul
it couldn't help you and me

we are all drifting in between spaces
of words that ceased to mean a thing

i hurt for you, but it does not ease
your pain, your heavy burdens

maybe if i hug myself tight tonight
i can keep myself together

long enough to say i love you
that you meant more than myself

i would have changed all thats wrong
that in you, life has dealt

if i could lighten your fears
and for once, dry those tears

but the only thing i could give you
is the truth of things

hoping you will use it to guide you
through all the coming years

i feel we will not meet again
that this is the only time, i have

and i don't want to let go, not
for a while longer, a moment more

breaking inside, yet trying to smile
and wishing you well,

always wishing you well..
