Holding out

by Guilty By Design   Oct 11, 2022


I close my eyes
I try to escape
Nothing ever goes away
You’re on my mind
Only all the time
I hate these four walls
‘Cause you’re not in them
This place used to be a home
Now it feels like a prison
I’m stuck inside my head
With a hole inside my chest
Ever since you left
I just can’t fill it
I look in the mirror
I’m a stranger to myself
Are you really healing?
You took the better part of me
I wouldn’t know what to do with it
The phone hasn’t rung for weeks
Your photo is still the first thing I see
I’ve thought of changing screens
That would mean accepting things
You said you weren’t coming back
But I’m not leaving
If you’re looking for a place to belong
You’re the perfect fit to my arms
You’ve got the key to my heart.
