The Mistake

Please…

Please don't leave

Don't leave me here

Alone

In the dark

I want to go…

I want to go with you…

Don't leave me here

Alone

In the dark

You helped me escape

My fears, my lies, my grief

If you leave who will help me?

Please don't leave me here

Alone

In the dark

You were my light

My only path…

Why?

Why did you do it?

Why did you leave me here?

Alone

In the dark

This is why I'm here

On the floor

Knife in my hand

Will you come to save me?

No, you made your choice

And now I must suffer

You left me

Alone

In the dark

You said others would come

To help, to love, to care

And no one did

So now I'm bleeding

Where you left me

Alone

In the dark

My heart was torn when you left

Shattered, never to be healed again

The pain in my wrists are starting to go away

Why did you leave me?

Alone

In the dark

Was I not good enough for you?

Were all the moments and memories not worth it?

Or was it that I was too much of a commitment?

But that doesn't matter now…

Nothing does…

Because I'm lying here, crying, on the floor

Alone

In the dark

As my vision slips away

I see you open the door and rush to my side

Was I wrong?

I can hear you say things

Like, 'don't leave me'

And 'why did you do it'

But most of all 'I love you and I always will'

So now we are both here

Alone

In the dark

With the last of my strength

A small stream of blood pouring out of the side of my mouth

I manage to say, 'I'm so sorry' and 'please forgive me'

But the most important, 'I love you too and always will'

Then I give up my last breath

Realizing that you truly did love me

I see my mistake

And now I will guide you

From heaven, to light your path

So you aren't

Alone

In the dark

I will never leave your side

I will always protect you

Even when you don't know I'm there

And I will always love you even when time no longer exists

For our love for one another

Is eternal
