He dies
In your arms
And you tell yourself
You will never love again
But that's a lie
Isn't it?
You will go on
Living
Loving
Fighting
Forever
You tell yourself
It will get easier
But that's a lie
Isn't it?
Every blow
Strikes harder
And deeper
And lasts longer than the last
Cutting your calloused heart afresh
You struggle to save him
But you hesitate
You tell yourself
This time is different
But that's a lie
Isn't it?
He breathes his last breath
Nothing
He'll never know
They never do
You come
And go
As you please
You tell yourself
You'll change
But that's a lie
Isn't it?
You can't
You won't
Until you die
If you die
You'll suffer through so much
And tell yourself you hate it
But that's a lie
Isn't it?
You can't help yourself
You're addicted
It feels good
The darkness
The pain
You know you're alive
You tell yourself
This will end
But that's a lie
Isn't it?
