Love Means So Much More Than Life

Shocking truths are revealed
From a relation kept unknown
Pulls the pin on this grenade
And leaves behind an empty home

Slowly the door opens
Forcing an impatient beam into the room
Casting an eerie aura
Onto a figure inching towards its doom

Time creeps to a crawl
Instinct kicks in
Furniture turns into obstacles
Her lifeline is too thin

Shards of glass fly past her face
Leaving jagged cuts along its way
Tinted windows, concrete sidewalks, broken bones
Crimson rivers flow today

And as she closes her eyes
A tear of sullen sorrow
Caresses her cheek
For she has no tomorrow...
