Stand Up

By Jessica Louise Hoffart

you lie there holding on
those threads might save your life
but you end up forgetting,
giving into the moment

those threads might save your life
letting go, you drown
giving into the moment
into his sheets and lies

letting go, you drown
hoping for love
in his sheets and lies
but it may never come

the love you are hoping for
may never come
those threads of truth might save your life
but you lay there holding on
forgetting about the lies
