my darling,
shut your eyes,
give in to the pestilence,
deep inside.
I know the time has come,
I know you have to leave,
but I don't know,
oh I don't know!
Don't leave me,
No!
I will not lose this again...
Close your eyes,
go to sleep,
it's just sleep,
no matter how long,
I'll survive,
I'll find my way,
don't worry about me,
I'm still breathing,
I'm stil trying,
despite the mistakes...
please,
if I said anything,
forgive me,
I never meant,
I never meant to hurt you,
I never wanted you to die,
I never wanted you to cry out,
call me from the darkness,
that I bathed you in,
swollen against the skin,
wallowing within...
I know I couldn't save you,
but maybe,
just maybe,
I can save myself.
Author notes
i lost someone very close to me recently. i guess this is just me letting it out. i'm sorry if this is too "emo". you can disqualify if you want.
