Your Last Breath

I still have the scars you carved over my heart
you ran and I followed until I could follow no more
abandoned in the dirt of a sad summer day
                                
                                       you climbed the hill to the very top
                                       where the sun could shine no brighter
                                       you looked down with a smile and
                                       expected me to smile back

how can you assume I'd be happy for you?
you were the one who tore me apart!
you shattered my soul. 

                                      naively, I tried to climb to you
                                      your smile spinning the thoughts in my head
                                      watercolour scene in shades of blue and green
                                      and there you are, the highlight of it all

how could you expect me to smile back?
to reach out my hand for you to pull me up?
I'm slipping back down away in the mud.

                                     the cruel and wrinkled hand of time
                                     draws storm clouds o'er your head
                                     something new and unfamiliar
                                     warps your loving smile

you did this to me.
you shredded me and expected me to love you still!
you only ever wanted to see me burn.

                                    this time, my darling, you won't get what you want
                                    it's my turn to feel the satisfaction of pain
                                    you can hold my hand and beg for life
                                    and I will smile and feed you a lie

so now I drag you screaming and crying
tie you down in the dark, alone
it's your turn to suffer.

                                   my rage is such that I could scream
                                   and shatter all the world
                                   you took my heart and sliced it right in front of me
                                   making me watch as you smiled

not anymore, my dearest love.
know now that you are about
to take your very last breath.

                                   a single cut and I can watch you bleed
                                   watch you cry and beg forgiveness
                                   I can laugh in your face and tell you
                                   some things cannot be forgiven.

you'll die tonight, my sweet.
but your soul will last forever.
your pain will never die.

                                 your pain will never die.
