I'm trembling and every inch on my body is on fire,

Waiting patiently for my friend to come and give in to his desire.

This hunger in his heart that takes away his sanity,

So he never took up on my offer to flee.

I wanted out of this town but not this way,

Not by your help to die but it's not really much to say.

Every night now you come to my room with tears streaming down your face,

Apologizing with your heart on your sleeve before you eat and leave in a daze.

I came to this town, a lost soul that you took under your wing,

Even though I tried to push you away, you pulled me back like a fragile little thing.

I guess I was and now I feel my life's slipping into the silence,

But I can't die before I end all this violence.

I'm happy that it's you and no one else who consumes me,

Sucking every drop of blood till I'm empty and as cold as I can be.

You hate having my blood on your hands,

Me too but you're the only one who understands.

My window opens and I see your bloodshot eyes burning,

You say my name and I scowl, you're never learning.

Even with my last thoughts I despise when you say it,

I can see that if this was another time you would throw a fit.

I feel your cold tears on the warmth of my skin,

It feels like rain that cool down the fire within.

I see the kindness disappearing from your eyes once again,

Looking down on me with eyes of the corpsmen.

Shiki sinks his teeth in my neck and pain is all I feel,

Tears still streaming as he have his meal.

Wearing my best friend's face, with a monster's eyes, and never ending tears,

Between us there is no space, I can no longer hear your cries, only the blood that clears.

Out of my system, everything gets dizzy and your fingers caress my cheek,

You're no longer the one staring back at me, oh I'm feeling weak.

"I'm sorry Natsuno", you say once again and fall to the floor,

I smile back weakly at you, I can't feel my body anymore.

This time it's really your voice, you no longer look at me like your prey,

I close my eyes and slip into the darkness: "Is it still to late to run away?"
