Heartless, Ceaseless

You promised me forever;
I guess forever’s come and gone.
It’s hard to tell, even now,
But you think I’m in the wrong.

Who are you to judge, though,
When all I gave you was love?
Even in the brightest day, I helped
When you weren’t tough enough.

You accuse me of heartlessness
And say you want to leave,
But why can’t you see my heart will sing
Even though it’s still just trying to beat?

You say that you’d rather
Die (of course!)
Because even that would be better
Than loving a corpse.


Just know that after you’re gone,
And I’m lost in my eternal night,
Remembering the pain, I swear to God,
I’ll think of you every time I bite.
