Broken..

She said she was losing,
herself bit by bit,
Like sand through
a broken hourglass, nothing
on the other end to contain it.

To this world,
All calm it seems,
But listen closely,
and hear the voices raging,
Sobs, sighs and screams.

He told her once,
that she was his light,
But her mind now was,
full of darkness, hiding
demons she can't fight.

As whirlpools of her fears,
began to pull her in,
She told him,
'Let go of me,
it's a battle you can't win'

Looking into his eyes,
She smiled to make it feel right,
and began fading away,
back into the desolation,
Until his arms grasped her tight.

She struggled more,
with herself than with him,
before saying, 'It's for you.
For the obvious you can't see',
But he calmly whispered,
'I can't let go of you. If I do,
I'll be losing a part of me'
