Forever

(Dream)
Erased down to an obscuration
Her pale skin brushed my lips,
The warmth we shared from each other’s bare
Made me feel alive once more
A mirage, toying reality
She was an effigy, spinning free.
As I still yearned for one last look at her
I closed my eyes to believe this dream,
And opened again to the emptiness beside
Amongst the ashes of promises long lost
Her scent was all that remained
Buried under the guileless sombre
It felt good to be wanted again.

(Waking up)
It was just another morning bell
The ceiling looks so empty, well
So does my life.
I’m unaware what it feels like
To wake up and feel like living anymore
Close my eyes to hope she’s coming back,
Open them to see her go, nevermore.

(The end)
“It’s better to burn out than to fade away”
Better than to rot in your lies each day,
Bit by bit I was falling apart
Reminiscing all the promises made
Beat by beat ceded my heart
Was it ‘forever’ you said?
Did I deserve it? Or was I insane?
Crimson soaked memories bid goodbye
The blade in my hand spoke for itself
Forever was a lie.
