Dying Love, for Love's Sake

(Man)
"Think of me when you're scared to live,
Let me drain your lingering pain from your body.
Give yourself to me, implant your mind
  Into mine;
And I'll do the same."


(Man)
"Focus harder on what you intend to be,
But, Please, don't forget to breath.
I listen to you, and I cry as you begin to wheeze;
As I know I am the beginning of everything
You seem,
To be sickly inhaling into your body of dreams."


(Man)
"I wanted to be your medication,
A simple Asperin.
But, I am becoming;
The origin of your Sin."


(Man)
I do not want to be a disease for you,
So I will ease your pain.
If you could be so kind,
"Could you pull that stool over here?"
"It's just I feel you could be better off,
Not choked every moment you have to live."


(Man)
"Could you pull the door shut as you leave,
As I do not want my demon to follow you."


(Written by the Man on the stool)
Let sacrifice be grace to your soul,
Let you breath out of your mouth again;
Instead of spewing forth dust from being empty,
And if God is willing, I hope your life
Will be more filling once again.


(Man)
"The last thing I ask of you,
Is do you really love me?
As I do not want you to hurt,
And simply become your mummy.
I know you will be in pain,
No matter what I do;
But soon I will only be the after taste,
Of that sour grape you began to chew."


(Woman)
"I do love you, this I know to be true;
Enough to help you, and bring you this stool.
I understand what must be done,
And I love you for that too.
Just know when you're gone,
I will hold you then too.
You're part of my heart,
No matter how much I go through."


(Man)
It is time, as the church bells ring
Hold my hand, and please don't let it sting.
"Listen to the blade sing amongst these bells,
A sacrifice is going to be made;
All for you, for love's sake."


(Woman speaks at the end)
The blade pierces through my skin,
And I see the entrance to a land that
Lies within.
As my heart opens, and tears across the floor,
My eyes begin to shutter, as a girl begins to mutter;
"Please! No More!!"


(Man)
"I'm sorry dear, but I love you enough;
To sacrifice myself, so one day we'll be
Together riding on an angel's wing."


(Man)
"You will cry for a while, and catch
My body as a I fall;
Hold me in your arms again,
And please, see to it that you continue;
To breath through it all."


(Man)
"Feel my heart now,
Feel how it is cold.
It is like that because all of my love came out,
And saved you from your bitter hell."


(Woman)
"I wish it didn't have to be this way,
But thank you for your love.
It saved me from the abyss I was in,
From my bitter hell...
From my bitter hell..."

Author notes

Wow. This took like 30 mins of writing. It randomly came into my mind and I quite like it. It is a story in a poetic form (of some sort...). I haven't named anyone so I simply will put Man or Woman on top of the paragraph if the Man or Woman speaks. Take time with this one.
