I will always love you

You've been gone from my life almost a year
you're not coming back, you've made that clear
i never once did you wrong
but somehow i never held you all along

there were those times i thought would never end,
is it wrong to relive them again and again?
time after time you caused me pain
but i went back to you thinking you'd changed

my friends didn't know, and i don't think you did
of all the times i fled and hid
away in the dark where you'd never find
me making those cold and harsh crimson lines

i used to wish the pain away
now i accept it will always stay
please just read these words and believe
the loss of you i will always grieve

take me from the morgue, lay me down to rest,
no one to cry but the rose on my chest
cold as a stone, my face says it all
i jumped from the rooftops and you let me fall...

I will always love you M.Z
