Every Moment Poem by Kathryn Garner

Every Moment



This corpse is so far past due
And I swear this isn't you
I can feel your soul inside
And I thank god, it hasn't died
[[Yet]]
Baby, I promise my heart to your grave
For it's the only thing I have yet to give
I'm only hoping my heart will save
You, so that you can still live
[[Without me]]

I'm fighting everyday in your eyes
I'm just wishing for one last walk
I lay, as my beautiful Eden dies
And I can still hear your mind talk
[[Endlessly]]
Breathing in every single word
Praying that you give a damn
Baby, I'm so sorry for all I've hurt
And there's some things a soul can't stand
[[When alone]]

I wish I could feel your hands again
But not feel them let go of me
I wonder what they prayed, where they've been
And what your pained eyes have seen
[[Every moment]]
These are my few, cold possessions
I just thought you'd be here tonight
In this dreadful, dying procession
Because I meet here with you every night
[[and you hold me]]

Every moment, suspended in time
Every moment of pretending I'm fine
Every wish another torturous downfall
Through every wish that I call
You've turned me away from the door
I'm begging, but you don't love me anymore
I love you, I need you, I need your soft touch
But you've left me, and this downpour is far to much
For me to take, when I'm already broken
And this is the epiphany, the symphony,
The climax, so relax, of all the sins I've spoken
Wishes so goddamn broken
Goddamn broken [[away]]
[[and you hold me]]

----------------

in this dead line
you just hold me
and in this dead night
as we walk
you just hold me
though I'm a horrible sight
you just hold
you hold me so tight
so right
so I'm finally alright
you just hold me
till the dawn
till I'm done with this song
till this pains all gone
you just hold me
its so simple a phrase
so simple an action
but it's the only thing that can save me
so you hold me
here
you hold me, just here
where we're alone
just right here
above our grave
where we turn to bone
together
as you hold me
as you hold me till we're gone
till eternity alone
says our sad so long
you just hold me here
every night in my dreams
these are the things
only a dream brings
you hold me in every memory
in every one that I see
because they are everything to me
they're all that's left of me
and you hold me
you just hold me
