This recent one I wrote the night before, after some suppressed feelings resurfaced. I did this after spending the night snuggled up with a paticular ex. I'm not sure if i regret it or not, because an old pain has since resurfaced, but i now know that i've just been lying to myself latly, and maybe my feelings still exist. But alas, feelings are not always returned.

In my Arms

Holding you
Makes my pain go away
Holding you
Makes me want you to stay
Holding you
Makes my world disappear
Holding you
Makes me lose all my fears
Holding you
Time tends to slow
Holding you
I don't want you to go
Holding you
I still lie awake
Holding you
You're not mine to take
Holding you
Still makes me cry
Holding you
Makes me want to die
Holding you
May make me feel free
Letting go
Is sure killing me
