I tried To Hold On Tight

I tried

I really did tried

I held on

To the thought

To that hope

That you will return

What is mine

Will come back to me

I tried

I really did tried

When the hope was slipping

I held on tight 

I was Pulled

Pushed, thrown

On the stones 

I bled 

It ached

But I held on

What was mine

How can I let go

Like a wild horse

It tried to break the hope

That only rope

In my weak gripe

You will return 

I need to wait

So what if it hurts

So what if heart bleeds

Whats mine

I won't let go

More I tried

Farther you drifted

With a slap I woke up

What am I holding 

Its just a hope

A broken hope

You have made up your mind

A decision 

A commitment 

Its already over

What then ? am I holding

I see my hands

I see my aching, bleeding hands

I see my empty hands
