My Demise

My Demise

Such a crippled creation,
with a shriveled, half-heartbeat.
Can't eat, can't sleep...
longing for a solution,
a reason behind the confusion.

One moment please,
while I adjust my collapsing chest.

The walls are closing in,
and you're the only one who can
save me.
I'd rather drown deep,
and let my lungs fill up with
the sea...
than to be without your embrace any longer.
That rush you give me is like a drug,
it makes me stronger...
it sends me reeling,
and there's nothing quite like that feeling
of being head-over-heels in love.

But I've been having withdrawls,
for much too long now,
and I sincerely promise,
I'll get you back...somehow.

An epiphany reached in snow,
I can see your face in my icy breath.
You're everywhere I go...
this heartache is more painful than death.

Surrender to me,
set your heart free,
there's nothing at all to fear.
Don't leave me alone
with these memories, and
my broken soul, crystallized in a tear.
