Slipped Too Far Away

This fragile hold I have on life,
Is slipping far away
I can't escape the misery,
Which haunts me everyday

Emotions rage through bitter thoughts,
That trace my every move
Though all is veiled in constant dread,
There's nothing I can do

When visions dance across my mind,
All fears become my own
Though hate and anger are to blame,
My heart has turned to stone

I feel I'm chained to pain and sorrow,
Locked within despair
The dread I hold within in this heart,
Was never meant to share

For who could handle shattered dreams,
That longed for brighter days
But this fragile hold I had on life,
Has slipped too far away
