Description
I gaze through the glassTo the last rays of light
And the long shadows cast
As dusk turns into night
Hands cling to the chain link
Still struggle to stand
I know what you may think
And I know what I am
A broken man
Still stealing these breaths
Because I can
I tried to hold on
If not but for your sake
But you walked away
Left my heart here to ache
Now it just
Reluctantly beats
It's this feeling inside me
And my heart is its keep
It's a feeling that
Is known only to some
Not everyone knows
What it's like to be numb...

Oh goodness, I have a lot of deviations to catch up on from you. Don't worry, I will eventually!
I can't even pick out a favourite stanza. As I've commented on earlier pieces of yours, (Or at least I think I have...I can't remember...
Simple, powerful emotions that are heartbreakingly easy to relate to. Just...fantastic work. It's so lovely.
