I'm looking back at all the times that you said
'It'll be okay...

My efforts weren't nearly enough
I tried so hard but...

The branches of the blood trees
scratch at my windows...

Why try?
You never win...

I look ahead
never turn back...

I'm bleeding in your arms
crying from the inside out...

Shattered from the inside out
Pierced within by shards of doubt...

Goodbye
I'm sorry...

I'm watching you fade to nothing
gently slipping into oblivion...

Darkness creeps into my soul
clutching at parts no longer whole...

My pain is more than denial
more than the painful fact that you won't be...

I'm stranded in the darkness
and all I can hear is your heart beat...
