She Held Me

She held me with her eyes She held me at arms length She kept me away With some supernatural strength All that I could do Was stand frozen in this fear So far from her While standing oh so near Ohhhh Ohhh To be anywhere but here Ohhhh ohhh To be anywhere but here She held me in her heart She held me at bay "You tore us apart" Is all she could manage to say All that I could do Was nod my head, sadly agree All I'd given her Were the worst aspects of me Ohhhh Ohhh I've got to set her free She holds me in her thoughts She holds me like a poison vial That she drank deeply Turned, looked back, gave one last smile And all that I could do Is watch her as she disappeared It ended as I knew Ended as I always feared Ohhhh Ohhh Charred, burned and seared Ohhhh Ohhh Charred, burned and seared She holds me no more She holds me like an amputee I destroyed her loving arms With my anger and misery And all that I can do Is try to stay so far away And hope that she can find Herself to a brighter day Ohhhh Ohhh Hope she can find her way
