The Lake

By SilentStalker

Dragged into the cold lake, you struggle with fear
But this is your fate, love; my pain brought you here

The ropes that restrain you will not let you run
Don't worry, my beauty; it's already done

Now this should be painless, though perish you will
Yet you will feel nothing, so please, love, be still

Now pushed underwater, you're fighting to rise
Your panic grows greater; so wide are your eyes

You grasp at my fingers; you're screaming in fright
I can't let you surface; please give up the fight

Your lungs fill with water; you know you will die
I can't stand to watch you; I look to the sky

And soon it is over; your life now is gone
I hold you for hours; can't seem to move on

My love, you betrayed me, for that you did pay
Though I never wanted to end it this way...
