I take your hand, and squeeze it softly,
My breath is caught in my throat
And I don't know what to do
The scarlet liquid I see flowing
Is making my head spin, as I hit realisation.
You look at me with a face that says,
Am I okay?
What am I supposed to say to that?
I can see you're not, I can see you dying
And I can't stop it.
All my muscles are tightning
telling me to do something, but
I already yelled, screamed my heart out.
What else can I do?
I can see that you can't breath properly
I can hear as you struggle for breath
I wished I could have breathed for you
You would still be here?
And I had to sit there and watch
as you took deaths hand.
You took it, and you never looked back
never fought it, you stared death in the sace
and never looked away, so he took you
away from me...forever.
In that moment, where you left
I could tell it straight away
There was no glint
No love in your eyes, just dull
Dull and dark, creepy and sad
Do you want me to look at them all day?
And every night I see those eyes
When I'm in that strange place
In between sleep and awake
And my last thought is always the same...
Your eye's died with you!
