‘KEEP’
It takes all my strength to pull this life to me,
To claw and tear my way from one day to another
Not counting, just tearing one more here in the glow
of the sun suffocated by rays of light and warmth
holding tight to ties that bind. I want to keep
these precious feelings and bask in your love forever.
