Withering

Withering heart won't you beat once more?
Stop lying there, bleeding on the floor.
Whisper to me the life I held when I was free.
Because I can't go on feeling this empty.

These fading flowers are leaving me only with pain.
Every minute reminding me that nothing's the same.
My innocence has left, the bell I hear it toll.
It rings just for me, and this hallowed out soul.

I clutch and I claw with all my might,
I drown in a sea of tears, remembering the night.
The night I became lost when you stole from me,
the child I was supposed to live to be.

And you stand laughing without a care,
while I lie screaming, trapped in this nightmare.
Visions of you killing all that I held true.
I dream of a smile that can never be, all because of you.

If you won't let me live, just let me die,
so that I don't have any more tears to cry.
Fix my face to your own desire.
Leave me to take the next step higher.

Where I'll go, I don't know, but I shall see you soon.
I'll be far above the stars, way beyond the moon.
If you miss me, then I thank you my friend,
but my time here has come to an end.
