Nothing can hold me back

From this life

Even when times are tough

I’ll carry on despite

With no respite

Thinking of you in mind

And wondering

Is it worth my time

When you said:

“Don’t stop believing… ever”

As you made the cord

Between us sever

And end a life long history

Of memories together

But this is now or never

It’s all or nothing

And yet I see nothing at all;

Standing inside the mirror

Reveals the writing on the wall

And shoulders that are heavy

From heaving this burden;

My back will only break

Once they close the curtain…
