I hold back tears
Afraid to let them flow
Let them gush down my checks
Like waterfalls
But my heart is breaking
Slowly being twisted
Cracking under pressure
I have lost control
Drifting towards unfamiliar ground
Filled with landmines
Pressured ground
I cannot step
Out of fear
For cracking these eggshells
That reside between us now
Every single step
A calculated move now
No freedom to love you
We both in shackles
Being strangled
Our hearts breaking
We are suffocating
Air leaving our bodies
Organs failing
The first to go is the heart
We have been claiming to share
It's breaking into two pieces
Splitting in two
Both pieces drifting apart
How did we get here
To this moment
Where we both are crying
Slowly dying
Because we are losing sight
Of each other as one being
I hold back tears now
I fear to drown
For I know I will suffocate
In my own tears
Mourning your departure
From my side and sight
Release me from this prison
I call my heart
If you will be apart from me
I would rather be blind
So I have no sense of this distance
That promises to take you
Take my heart with too
For if it stays pumping blood
Giving me life
I will fail to hold back the tears
Because I know my heart
Will send out signals
Waiting for yours to bounce them
Back so it can know you are close
I hold back tears
That eagerly await release
So they can taste freedom
Run wild
Rampage and carnage
I foresee if they are set free
Mostly my own destruction
For I know I will die of heartache
If I let you go
And I will drown if my tears
Are set free
