Love You to Death

I cried myself to sleep last night
Cried until it hurt
I kept cutting myself
Until the cuts burnt

How could I ever forget you
Or the love we had?
How could I once have been so happy
And now be so sad?

I still love you, Baby,
And that's a fact.
Don't you remember we said we'd be forever -
We made a solemn pact

But now you're gone
And all I'm left with is a whisper
How could you run off
With my very own sister?

I forgive you, my Sweet,
Just as I always did
I've seen through every lie
Even your "tiny white fibs"

Now as I sit beside your bed
Watching you sleep
I pray for God
Your soul to keep

And now for the final time
My fingers through your hair I'll trace
Then with gentle yet brutal force
I'll place the pillow over your face

As your struggle ends
It gives way to stillness
I whisper and smile,
Completely guiltless:

"I will always love you
Until your last breath
I love you, my Angel,
I love you to death"
