Hold My Hand

Farther I slide
So inept am I
To holding on
When all hope seems gone

Tears trickle, so slow
With nowhere to go
But cascade down
To fill the hole where I drown

Normality is a dream
I am not what I seem
You turn away
Then again, why should you stay

Nothing I can keep
No mind to set at ease
My rationality goes
The same awkward way I flow

But if you can look beyond
The simple recited song
You might hear a rhyme
That extends past all time

And maybe you could see
The truth dwelling inside me
What I am unable to show
Then perhaps I could let you know

And you could finally see more
Then this little girl so torn
And maybe, just maybe, then
This heart you could try to mend
