she's the reason
blood has been shed
why the battle rages
the leading cause of death
she spread her beauty coast to coast
and i sent my love overseas
losing grasp on what matters most
this was my difficult dream
in the end this is where
we leave our hearts
where our beaten chests
leave our last breaths
the most passion you'll ever see
losing track of time and nights of sleep
is it worth the wait..
we're cast away
i find myself
amid movement here
and motion there
there's a secret unrevealed
in these letters
she's the reason
blood has been shed
the leading cause of death
is it worth the wait..
my darling keeps her
sekleton in a closet

fuck. this was amazing, I've read it like 3 times, and still can't find words to express how much I love your writing. And the ending killed me, as always...
