He killed you
and I watched
as you took last breath,
you said my name
as tears flowed over.
I stood there unmoving
and watched you fall into waters depths
to turn it as red as my tears.
I loved you
and failed you,
I promised to protect you
only to deceive you.
My oath withered
like a rose before winter
as it was broken
when your blood touched the ground.
My heart broke
and I called out your name
never to hear an answer.
