I clutch the locket close to my heart
Everyday, those little moments
The ones that come and pass
If I could only
stop
time

To hold onto what matters
But the smile
deceives
and the eyes
betray

The heart beats
but sometimes it fails
either to love
or accept love

What if I were to tell you
that my heart beats out of time
to it’s own beat
It has it’s own failures

You’ve come to tell me
that my heart
is wrong
that’s why
you
are
killing me

This locket
is my saving grace
she was my only
hope

Now
She is gone
but I am still trying
to hold onto
what
cannot
be held
