It's Hard to Understand

I hold on tight
And your wings take flight.
As I try to hold on
You're already almost gone.
Life is what you make it
But sometimes it's hard to take it.
When you get left behind
Who's left to hear me rhyme?
Left alone in the sand
Reaching out my hand.
Trying to find the place where they belong
Intertwined with yours alone.
You say it's for the best
But your intentions aren't the test.
You call me selfish
But what's this?
Your the one who gets your way
And I'm left alone and a stray.
So talk about being greedy
Always saying I'm so needy.
I guess you don't listen
Or you'd know why I'm always missing.
While my past hasn't been the best
You gave me light and zest.
But now you tear me apart
And leave me lying open heart.
Crushed by the falling ice
As the weather just started to seem nice.
So I'm sorry if I'm a pest
But really I'm just a mess.
As I try to hold on and tighten my grip
I want you to hold me and not let me slip.
And let me fly with you
So I don't have to miss you.
But your so intent
On leaving this instant.
While breaking my heart
Oh your so smart...
Don't leave me in the dark
It might leave a mark.
So please don't leave me
Fight and stay with me...
Stay on the ground
And don't let me drown.
