In the recesses of my heart
the silvers of remorse collect and together
they form nothing more than the crystals of regret
where only the lonely dwell.
The shadows linger, threatening to smother
the ashes of a heart so painfully longing
to burn its brightest.
And in this pitiful situation, a sinful infatuation,
the latern of hope that was guiding my way
was extinguished with the simple wave
of His hand.
I could watch the sunrise and sunset
until the days no longer bleed into each other,
only if I knew that somewhere in the Great Inbetween
you had saved a star for me.
As my chest reaches its full capacity
and can no longer bear the constant pressures
of the living,
I know I am nothing more than a creature
created in the eye of a monster to be the one
to suffer from each of their own mistakes.
But now as I struggle to breathe,
I lay myself down and ponder the meaning of "eternity"
and just how long I'll have to wait,
and listen as my lips breathe out your name
Just one last time.
And the dark is calling, the shadows are falling;
I watch the blackness come
and I let it seep into me.
