Bruises and Bandages
By Phantasmagoria
You traveled with me on my path of shadows,
Even though you
knew there was a better road.
My hand was never lonely on that journey...
You longed for warmth while I kept you in my falling
snow,
But my survival meant more to you than your own.
Every
danger I stumbled upon,
You were there to take the hit.
The ice never healed your wounds,
But the cold was where you
found me
And I was so scared of the light.
You never had the
chance to return.
My piano path turned you into a man
of grief,
Every step was a broken key.
My songs of sorrow tainted
your happiness,
Yet you remained by my shoulder.
Our
ribbons of sadness entwined,
And became the rope we held onto
When
there was nothing else to grasp.
I turned you against your own joy.
You were my umbrella
Even when the hail became unbearable.
I stayed unharmed through every thorn bush
'Cause you sacrificed
your skin
And even managed to pick me a rose now and then...
I taught you the harmful acts of a blade,
And
your virgin wrists became tarnished.
You slayed each of my nightmares,
But never did you think about your own fear.
Your heat
kissed my frozen lips
Inbetween the time of your every heartbeat,
But it was never enough to thaw my icy core.
I was too far gone
in the dark winters.
I'm so sorry for dragging you down with
me.
In the end you took my hopeless suffering
And smothered your promising future.
You payed your life for my
transgressions
And I never had the chance to say...
"Thank You..."
