You Have A Hold On Me

by Cathy   Jan 9, 2008


Thoughts flooding my brain with no where else to go
I'm left sinking in this misery i thought that you should know
Your full attention has yet to expand instead I'm left with all these fears
struggling and trying to get by, and forget about our years

But you on the other hand are oblivious to what I have to say
you go on thinking things are fine, so easy for you to go on with your day
with me I sit and wonder and think to myself why
how did I end up with such a guy

You tell me things that I yearn and long to always hear
but actions do speak louder and so do my tears
you leave me in the dark, so many secrets creeping behind my back
but you fail to tell me any truth so I hold onto that

I think that sometimes when we go through these issues that we have
packing up and leaving sometimes doesn't sound so bad
I mean if I'm already halfway to the door
all I need is a few steps more

but yet again my strength disappears and my bags drop to the floor
I know I can't keep living like this with you anymore
but yet you have this hold on me
and its so hard to break free

    Another sad yet deep and emotional piece from you.

    "You tell me things that I yearn and long to always hear
    but actions do speak louder and so do my tears
    you leave me in the dark, so many secrets creeping behind my back
    but you fail to tell me any truth so I hold onto that"

    the words you speak are so full of sorrow and pain. As you said loving words mean nothing if ones actions do not say the same things.

    "but yet again my strength disappears and my bags drop to the floor
    I know I can't keep living like this with you anymore
    but yet you have this hold on me
    and its so hard to break free "

    I know and understand this "hold" you talk about, not to long ago i was captivated in the same way. I guess that is why this piece has touched me so strongly.. This poems is an absolutely wonderful expression of your feelings. I think once you break that hold you will be free to be whom ever you wish to be. Take care and all the best.. a fantastic picture you have penned here Cathy.
