Loss

I know you can feel me
As I grab onto your hand
You hear my voice cry to you
But you just don't understand.

For a long while I've been dead
Missing you more with every day
Regretting how I hurt you deeply
When I took my life away

I never once cried like you
When you heard about my death
You were reliving my pain
With every single breath.

As your angel I couldn't leave
Without letting you know
I'll never hurt you again
I'll never let you go

I've watched you whilst you slept
Your eyes flicker open with surprise
I smile to let you know I'm real
I can see my reflection in your eyes

You wake up always the same way-
Gasping for breath, trying to scream
I am in your every thought
I am in your every dream.

But I never meant to hurt you
Or haunt you 'till you try
To rid yourself of me
Every time you cry

I saw myself in you
The will to just drop dead
I tried to talk to you
But you missed every word I said

You slit your wrists
In front of my tortured eyes
I screamed in full horror
Only to hear your cries.

"Baby, I miss you
I need you by my side
I can't live another day without you
I don't want to hide."

I know you can feel me
As I grab onto your hand
You hear my voice cry to you
But you just don't understand.
