She held him closed within her palms
Only to have him slipping away like sand
Every grip, every embrace
Pushing him further away to reclaim his space
It hurt to realize, the pain and fear
That, to her, seemed to obliterate every obstacle
Was nothing to him, but mere suffocation
Her need just another negative emotion
As he pushed, she loosened her grasp
Letting him go, his own way to choose
As he snapped away, amidst the pain and the sting
She lost her only sense of belonging
