it was so amazing with stars in our eyes,
watching it flicker, burn and die.
remember the promises that you made?
all cut away at the edge of the blade,
i thought you would come back for me one day.
but now it's over, you're so far away.
your fingers were crossed with each promise made,
all cut away at the edge of the blade,
screaming silence, so out of reach,
fills the empty room with the bloodstains still on the seat,
where the suicide note once lay at your feet,
with broken promises pouring from your veins,
all cut away at the edge of the blade.
how can you come back for me if you're so far away,
all wrapped up in earth and cold as the clay?
what about the promises you made?
all cut away at the edge of the blade.
Author notes
how can you take me from this place if the angels have carried you so far away? what about all those promises you made? all cut away at the edge of the blade.

I like this, the pain you feel for being left alone. There is no easy way out, and there should be no choice in that matter. I like this alot, I like the emotion, it has a hunting tone, could perhaps be lyrics, and it would inspire lots of people. Well, I'm babbling, but this was really good.
