Hold (Still III)

from Inosculation by Colour in the Clouds

/

lyrics

“hold still,” she said, that twisted warm smile pushing the thoughts out of my head and leaving it with her words instead. but in that moment, with the passing image, i came to the realization that nothing ever would/

“hold still” she said. and she said time moved to fast for her. but she was 17, too young to be focused on the life waiting ahead and blinded by what was trapped in her head and in her bones so she could never fully just/

“hold still” but i just want her to be looking at me. i want to hear that she’ll be here with me, and she’ll fall asleep on my shoulder, hours rolling by, not making us feel older but pushing memories back so we can make new ones, ones i wish were the only ones left when i was ready to let her go, but they’re not.

“hold still” she said and that warm smile twisted into tight lips, trembling, holding back thoughts begging to leave her head. and i sit with her. a little orange bottle hits the ground but the pills aren’t inside. and i touched it and i felt the weight of emptiness. and i touched her and i felt the weight of emptiness. i prayed for anything to slow down time but she just placed her hand in mine and as my eyes poured out the words i couldn't say, she spoke. and her words were like smoke. and her eyes were like the moon, “i’m going to sleep now, but i’ll see you again soon.”

wishing for the best
time will leave us
bleeding, waiting
for death to find us

time will never hold still
time will never bleed with me

and i carried her in my arms
and i saw the scars
and i heard approaching sirens
as i looked at the stars
