Bound Hands Holding a Crushed Heart

I hear it though a friend and my knees begin to bend. "It's Sasha" My eyes grow, the world begins to slow. my heart stops beating logic is fleeting Hands quiver, a gut-wrenching thought clings hold in my chest Vision blurrs, tears well up, lungs get tight. 8 pills she took for hope she forsook. Not one word on her pain I was cluless again. Failure floods my lungs I seem to have lost my tongue feet slowly plodding foward, the little left of my mind disordered. Words fail me why didn't I foresee. Knowing she is alive, makes some fear deprive. Too much unknown the worry has grown. England is her land. and stuck, here I stand.* I wish to reach across the sea and tell you how okay it will be. To wrap my arms around you and make the pain undo you from its tight grasp all day your on my mind hoping for some refuge you'll find. craving to alter the past wondering the possible contrast. I could've done more to express that you are cared for. to show your not alone. If only i'd known. Sasha. you are beautiful you are smart you are silly you are playful you are caring you are adorable you are honest you are a sister to me your laugh makes everyone smile you are sensitive yet you are strong you are pure as an angel yet wings tainted from pain** you lift others up. no matter your down. If my words cant reach, then strain I beseech. you aren't alone we love you down to the bone. And nothing can change that. Sweet Adorable Sensitive Honest Affectionate Even the stronest flower must rest it's petals. Just remember there is a time for you to open again. Moonlight glistening off the dew resting on your reborn arms. nothing as beautiful as you can stay hidden forever. so let us in, let us warm you from the freeze, let us help you streach you weary leaves. Sasha, We all care about you. and we are all here for you. you will never be alone in this, all you must do is reach out, and you will find arms waiting to catch you from your fall. You are stong You can do this. I love you flower. I love you Sasha. {*So far away- Avenged Sevenfold} {** Angels fall by Breaking Benjamin}
