Lost in the sound
The wind in my ears
A violent scream
As I reach for you
Blinded by your tempting smile
'Don't let me go'
'Don't leave me alone'
Pleading,
A bitter language
Made sickeningly familiar
To my still-beating heart
'Cause you were my sun
My vibrant stars
My endless sky
My love, for you are the sea
As frightening as the body
Of which you've risen from at birth
And I am the moon
Lonely still
You were the breath on my cracked lips
As we say goodbye
Because you were my hero
And I wanted you to be mine
But you were her's
So undeniably distant
Out of my reach
Like the peace I yearn for
So let me go
I'm sick of fighting
Fighting for one last glance
Into those haunting eyes
As green as the grass
That dies at my feet
If only you knew
How much I need you
How much I wish
You could chase away
The darkness in my mind
As taunting as the shadows
And as cold as the night
Promised to me by the Fates
Does she need you
The way I do?
Maybe that's why
Her love is more tempting then mine
You deserve the light
Promised by her love
For I, alone
Rot the fleeting hope
From your fragile bones
I long for nothing more
Than the love brought
To me by your embrace
Air tight in our lungs
Like a vice, struggling
'Cause you are the
Violent breath I breathe
So hold onto me
Or let me go
Don't linger
Because as the sun's hopeful rays
Kiss the strangled branches of the trees
For I leave this world behind
The sight of life without your love
Is pain worse than death
Because all I beg of you
Is remembrance in your heart
An extravagant plea
Too large for my feeble being
So I wish you love
That I could not give
That you would not accept
From my suffocating grip
As long as you promise
You'll hold my memory dear
Because you're all I've ever dreamed for
And I'm among your greatest regrets
The sight of my body
As I say goodbye
My withering vessel nothing more
Than thin, white canvas
Stretched over a wiry frame
Of weakened bones
Because this unfed longing for you
Has sucked the life from hopeful eyes
So now all left that I can hope
Is that you'll remember me
As I was when we met
A youthful child
With love, still for this existence
Before this virus in my heart
Consumed me so fully
Remember my heart as it once was
Still beating
Without a skip
Without the cracks worn
From the fight
Of losing you, my love.
