The rain is falling hard,
washing away these tears
that are causing my heart to ache.
This umbrella hides the secrets,
that my face cannot.
How could you do this?
You entered my bizarre world.
You jabbed at my chilled heart.
You broke me and my hard defenses down.
I raided your eyes,
I'd thought I'd found love inside.
I was irrevocably wrong.
I began to trust,
began to hope again.
I'd gained a lover and a friend,
if only that were true,
all I have left to me now,
are the ever-lasting whispers
and the pain that lasts forever too.
Your kisses I miss the most.
They broke my heart and mended it,
all at the same time.
They felt so good,
but now to remember them just hurts.
The fun we had, the way you laughed,
everyone tells me, "Girl, you need to forget it all."
I don't want to forget.
If I forget, I am certain,
I will be dead.
So, darling, come to me,
hug me tight.
Turn time back around.
Don't take that gun.
Don't leave me with blood on my hands.
Don't kill yourself,
because I'm dying without you now.
