Abyssinia No More

I’ve lost you forever by holding onto you. Can you ever forgive me? The fall seemed like an eternity as you faded away. Your screams echoed through the vacancy and shattered my soul. You were the only one I cared for and I still let go. Can you ever forgive me? You tripped and fell; I tried to pick you up. It all happened so fast I’m sorry. Our hands were together for a moment of faith, But that faith was assaulted by weakness. I’ve lost you forever by holding onto you. Now I’m to stay here all alone as this void gains strength My head spinning like a storm trying to imagine a life without you. You were all I had. You are who I am And I couldn’t hold on. Why couldn’t I hold on? My life, my essence just slipped thought my fingers Like water going back home. But you don’t belong there. You belong here beside me. I just lost the air I breath the beat to my heart The outline of my shadow. You’re the only reason I lived and I killed you. I let go. Can you ever forgive me?
