all i see is nothing i can breathe in
nor believe in
nothing i can touch with fingers
is anyhtign i can call my own
everything i know is nothing that can be believed in
i know i said that before
on the way down no one i know is there to see me pass
the hold i have on this life is so slight i might as well not exist
do you even know what it is im feeling
do you even care that i feel like im peeling the skin from my frame
can you see it
can you feel the blast that is my soul escaping my skin
i know. i know. do you know
do you love me
do you really care what it is im going through
do you think i never felt everyhting you were going through
oh you know that aint true
you know every ache and every slight you felt
i felt too
and somehow you cnat quite get that
does she love me that much?
yes she does.
i know and i know i dont want this life
without you i dont want to be here
does it make a difference
are you prepared to just let me drift away
to go beyond the curvature of the earth never to be seen by you again?
cant you see me
cant you feel me
can you come to me
envelope me in all that i need
dont you love yourself enough to love me too.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say

    very well done, cate.

    i hope that you don't mind that in my quote i made bold a couple of lines for my own reasons, although you do put all of the it together very poignantly
