Holding On By A Thread

The pain never ends, So many sleepless nights
The answers slip further away every time you draw near
The defining lines of reality fade away day by day
My heart tears as I watch you slip away, holding on by a thread.
Fearing the loss of those close to you .Fearing the un-sane, doubt creeping in
Please hold on tight, please don't let go
I couldn't stand to see you fade away
You have been so much to me
I'll stand by your side
Holding on until the end.
