with two hands
i try to coax you from my heart
like a mother to her child
cooing gently in her ear

let go love
for now is the time
you have done what you can
you can do no more

and with a breath
one finger
two fingers
three fingers....hold

(but all shiny and bright
i beamed
- it wasn't enough
all shiny and bright
i beamed
- it fell cold)

and with a breath

i sighed...

and waited for another day
