Turn back from the tide of death
or let me follow you
I run, ankle deep in water cold
You glance back and regard me with stony eyes
and for a moment I wonder if death
has truly stolen you from me
But then, in a moment of downturned despair
I find your arms are still open to hold me
The guilt of my survival
the tattoo that has been growing
You take it all away to bear
giving me the freedom to look away from death
I will live on, and let you leave me
follow the boats to the other side
Quickly, before I lose my mind to rush after you
It takes all my strength just to stand and let you go
I will live on so you remain in memory
keeping this part of you alive in my heart
you take the loss I've born to end this curse
as you fade away into the darkness
I will live on

Once I had noticed that this was in the fandom list I figured that it was about Fatal Frame 3. You seem to like this game a lot.
"the tattoo that has been growing"
Does this guy have a tattoo too? If he doesn't, did you have a sudden infatuation with tattoos or something. (I'm kinda joking)
You get such a feeling of loss and betrayal from this... it reminds me of Caiti. She has such a cute betrayed face, maybe she'll be an actor like the rest of my clan.
Great write!
May your pencil never break!
