These Arms

These arms

That hang here by my side.

These arms

That ache to open wide.

Useless arms

With nothing left to do

Since these arms

Stopped holding you.



These arms

Are worthless now to me.

They let you go

So how good could they be

Just foolish arms

For which I have no need

A pair of arms

That grew weak and set love free.



Reaching out to embrace affect now Marie

Finding just the empty space

Around what's left of me.



Two arms that failed completely

Arms both scarred so deeply

Keep paying loves cost with each tragic sway



Trying meekly to assess my struggle with the truth

Unable to resist what tears still make us new



Two arms that failed completely

Arms both scarred so deeply

Keeps paying loves cost with each tragic sway



These arms

That hang here by my side.

These arms

That ache to open wide.

Useless arms

With nothing left to do

Since these arms

Stopped holding you.



Since these arms

Stopped holding you.
