You Hold My Life     by Lucy Travers

You hold my life
But still want more
What else can i do
But cry
On this cold, tiled floor

I'm so trapped
Unable to breathe
Unable to love
Unable to see
This web of thoughts
Being spun in my head
Sometimes I collapse
And wonder
If I'd rather be dead

In the black of night
When darkness
Has beaten light
Lies a tired little girl
A tired little girl
Unable to fight

I hate to feel
Feel so alone
Cold
Beaten
Numb
Numb
Frozen in my bones

In my heart
I've got love to give
One day I'll be strong
One day I will live

But you hold my life
And still want more
So for now
I will cry
On this cold, tiled floor
