I see you
Even though there's nothing there
I feel your lips
Brushing softly across my hair
And even though I see
Where you used to be
I tend to close my eyes
And think of when you stood there
And told me to go away
You didn't love me anymore
You broke my heart
No more, no more
And although I love you still
I seem to stay
I'm too strong willed
And the pain this caused us both
Eats a hole in my heart
I cannot breathe
My heart still beats
Even though it's gone
And along came him
The one who saved my life
He held me together
To save me from falling apart
I see you
Even though you're still so far away
I feel your hands
Holding mine
Although this pain is hard to bear
All I want is to keep you here
I'll hold on no matter the price
No matter the torture or anguish
The cause of all evil is greed
No longer applies to me
He was evil is theory
Love is a dangerous thing
I can't hold it against him
I'll hold him close
I'm clinging to his memory
His velvet voice
Perfect, pale skin
I see him
I listen
Even though it is just the fragment
Of a perfect life
I gave up
When he made promises
Impossible to keep
It will be as is I'd never existed
Improbable
How could he ever assume it could be
I'll forget, he said
What a lie
Because I'd rather die
Then disregard what we had
My sweetheart
A diamond, with the ugly rock
Could never be
And I'll remember, forever
No matter the cost
No matter the pain it will cause
and he'll never come home
with the memories he stole
and I'll weaken and die
and he'll still be alive
not caring
but even if I tell someone yes
even if I accept their kiss
I'll love him, forever
Or as long as I exist.
