1998. Shawna Luttrell
I wish I could save you;
from all the pain,
in this world.
Hold on and never let go;
maybe save myself,
from all this too.
Drowning in this misery,
that is seeping out my eyes.
Tears trace the way;
from which they came,
and surely they'll pass again.
Only to hold you,
angels embrace.
With perfect arms,
from both of our pains.
Save me and I will save you
Only if I could hold on to that.
