My Solemn Regret
By alesana
It was my tears that blotted out the sun
So dark we couldn't see
So cold we couldn't breathe
In the deepest grief I scream.
It was I who held the knife
That pressed against your throat
Don't blame me, my love
You know I had no choice.
I only
wish that I could die
Could fade away with you
But if there
is one thing that I know for sure-
I do not deserve the peace of
death.
And so I lie in ash and mist
The fire burns my throat
and heart
I take the smoke into my lungs
Hoping it will kill
me.
Vines will grow from all around
Curling around my neck
Binding me to the ground
Sucking my life away.
Bring
me close to death, dark world
Let me ever slip
But never ever
let me feel
The sav'ry taste of eternal end.
Punish me
for what I've done
Lock me here in solitude
No light, no sound,
no comfort
I'll suffer here alone.
I'll bleed and burn
until the end of time
And then I'll leave this hell
And replace
it with another
And even more torture.
Forever these chains
will bind me
Where no one can find me
Naked in this ceaseless
cold
Suffering inside and out.
