Last Night I Saw You Die

Last Night I Saw You Die

by: Isabelle

Last night I saw you die

What do you saw when someone you love dies?

Do you whisper a silent prayer to the silent sky?

Do you shout insanitites to the shaking ground?

What do you say, when all you had left is ripped from your hands

Last night I saw you die

I saw you dead before you fell, before your sacrifice

Before your abandonment, before I was left alone

Last night I saw you die

And here now I sit

Sorrounded by things you loved

I don't know what you did to me

More enchanting than the witch

More enthralling than the key

Last night I saw you die

You are no longer here with me

I am crying for you, I hope you know that

These are tears of pain

Tears of angish, tears of loss

Last night I saw you die

And I did what I had not done in one hundred years

I prayed

A low demon like me, prayed

Prayed to God, or to Ala, or to Buddah or to whomever would listen

Whomever would listen to a moster like me

Last night I saw you die

And now I dream

I see people crying for you

I sit, I watch, I pray

I can't close my eyes, there you are

Telling me you're counting on me

Last night I saw you die

And I knew I had failed

Like so many times before I proved me wrong

I can't be good, you were right

I am not the poof

I have no soul

Last night I saw you die

Blinding pain rushed through my dead veins

Last night I let you die

Last night I failed

It should have been me on that pile of debris

It should have been me

It was not your time

It has always been mine

I live on borrowed time

Last night I watched me die

When I saw you there

I knew my time was up

Your time of glory and my time of defeat

Years ago I would have rejoiced

But you have bewitched me

I walk blindly on this earth

Last night I saw you die,

And all that's left is me

Alone, abandoned, cold, and insecure

Last night I watched you die

And I knew, I just knew

I was no longer on borrowed time

This was our time

I knew you didn't love me

I knew you never would

Last night I watched you die

Now I wished you could
