Held forever

The urge to kiss you
Is foremost in my mind
It will be a last kiss
A kiss goodbye

The urge to hold you
Embrace you in my arms
Feel your warmth
That one last time

To say those words
As they rest upon my lips
But my mouth wont open
Something holds it back

The best I can do is touch you
Fingers caress your checks
Light as a feather
Least I break you from your sleep

That sleep is now eternal
For you alone have chosen that path
A release from the pain and aguish
You held in your heart
