I have nothing left to lose

So I let go, let go.

I have nothing left to gain

But I hold on, hold on.

I’m still hoping, still hoping,

For something better to come.

Time is running, pacing, chasing,

And yet I’m only waiting, only waiting.

Sweet lullabies cradle the dark night,

No sunlight unto the morn, unto the morn.

It’s new, it’s new,

And yet so old, so familiar.

Shadows play upon my window,

Dancing in the sweetened light of dawn.

I can hear you whisper, oh so gentle,

Come hither, come hither.

I can see the fear,

Even though I’m here, so near.

I’ll put you to sleep, just close your eyes,

Can you hear what I’ve tried to disguise?

There’s fear, there’s pain,

There’s love, there’s hope.

Trying to balance what’s left in my mind,

Spiral, spiral, downward.

But now it’s different.

Smile,

It’s beautiful, that smile.

Laugh,

I can hear the tinkling laugh.

Dream,

Paint your imagination with hues unknown.

Sing,

Your voice is the sweet lullaby again.

Hope,

Maybe it’s not as bad as it seems.

Holding on,

Because I have everything to hold on to.

Holding on,

Because you’re all I have.

Holding on,

Because I can’t lose you.
