My breath, My love
My breath falters quickly, my heart tightens
My love, though in rage, I still love you dearly
What a curse was set upon you, to end this bad
To think I am but a ghost, bringing only memories
I am real and alive now, but you do not know this
To see my blood on your hands and think I dead
But when I touch you, you still shed tears of love
I have not died, but sent away only to come back
Now you see, there's no need for the pain you feel
I can bring back the light in your eyes, the laugh
But you still think I am not among the living
That is why you seek my death, only to end your pain
I run, the ground shaking beneath, I run for my life
You trail behind me, thinking this is only an illusion
A knife at hand and a crazed look in your eyes
Has my absence made you insane to the point
My words I speak from my lips, no longer reach you
You do not hear and you will not listen
I am alive, I have come back to be with you
I tire of running and collapse, turning on my back
I see you above me, looking at me with pure hatred
Have you lost the man you once were
Thinking you would strike a tree and I would vanish
You plunge the knife deep into my heart, pushing deep
My scream pierces the forest and now recognition you see
I Am Real and my blood flows quick, I will soon die
You cradle me in your arms and whisper words of sweet
For I know I came too late and here lies the price
I am sorry for the pain I have caused you, the lonliness
I wipe away a tear from your eye with all my strength
Your grip strengthens and anger flares, though at yourself
My breath falters quickly, my heart tightens
My love, though in rage, I still love you dearly...
