Can You

Advertisements

feel me slipping away from it all 

One moment your laughing with me the next I’m gone. 

The smile you loved to see and the laugh you loved even more to hear fades away as if it never happened in the first place. 

Only you were the one that could hold on to me and than one day I just disappeared and you didn’t even notice because for so long you had been holding on. 

Until one day you let go to take a breather and then just like that I was gone.

I was falling so fast that even I didn’t see this coming until I hit the ground and the air left my body. 

Broken and alone I laid there hoping someone would find me soon for it was getting so cold down here. 

I know we all grow up and certain things get left behind but, I was really hoping I wouldn’t be one of those things.
