untitled?

one breath, the end
torn between martyrdom and a modern lie
buried brilliant
something like this shouldn't have to die

so let these splinters be your last kiss goodbye

i've been waiting
i've waited too long to let you go
i've been selfish
but now it's time for you to know

that I can't do this anymore.

love, it won't keep me alive
your hand won't take me through the night
your smile can't cure this disease
and how can I be strong
when you're right here making me weak?

dim lit discourse
nothing but whispers escape my lips
light falls, hope falls
the morning falls and I've lost your grip

I know it hurts, but it could be worse

empty, broken
I knew what's best for both of our lives
but with one breath, regret
i realize i can't be the martyr tonight

would someone please tell him I'm still in?

i'm sorry i stayed
that i kept you this way, knowing
you would never know
now that you're gone
and my heart beats on
and this is all wrong
and I need you

and love, it won't keep me alive
and your hand won't take me through the night
and your smile can't cure this disease

it makes me want to try,
so fight with me please.
