Almost (Edited 12-16-19)

I almost lost you tonight

And the fear

Was indescribable 

It's undeniable

The love that I hold for you 

But to hear you say those words

‘I don't love you like I used to’

Brought me to my knees 

Crippling my soul as it grips with no release

There's no ease for that 

It's forever imprinted on my mind and on my heart

Another scar to add to my collections

Scars I’ll never let you see.

Ill burry them under perfections. 

I thought I knew what it was like to lose someone you love

But it doesn't even come close

To losing the one you love the most 

I found what I was looking for when I met you

I thought you had found it too 

But you told me that it’s just not enough

So close and so far from being in love. 

And I’ve been feeling you slowly push away

But to me it’s as loud as slammed doors

But I thought “May be I need to give more”

While pieces of my heart are scattered

Like crumbs on the cold floor

I’m worn out but still I’m fighting

Even as you tear at me a little further

I have to find our silver lining

I much rather love you in vain

Than live without you and still in pain

Because I’m coming way to close

To losing the one you love the most

I almost lost you tonight

And the fear was undeniable

For the hold you have on me is indescribable.
