Before we realized all this would eventually disappear
Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!!!!!
You were my love once forgotten
Only now do i remember your face.
It swims in front of me,
Carefully haunting
Slowly Killing.
You haunt my days,
Terrorize my nights.
Why can't you just leave me alone?
I wish I could run away
To the brink of day
But you would find me.
There is but one way to escape
The grasp of your soul
Death.
But that is your path,
The coward's path.
I am not you,
I am no coward.
I tried to tell you,
To save you,
But you wouldn't listen.
That night,
The night of your death,
You said,"Je t'aime."
Then
You disappeared
Into darkness.
I ran to the edge,
But it was too late.
I watched you fall.
I watched you die.
I felt your soul embrace me
As it started it's journey
But then,
I felt nothing.
Saw nothing.
They say love
Is what you make it.
You made it hell for me.
But
When I was with you
There was no place else
I'd rather be.
You were the light
In my world
Of darkness.
But even the brightest of lights
Are plagued by darkness,
Much like my own.
But I didn't see it,
The darkness in your light.
I don't know why.
I wish
I could've been your light,
Your beacon of hope.
But now it's too late.
Now you're gone
And you won't come back.
Why?
Why did you leave me?
Why did you cast my world
Into a darkness
So whole
So complete
That no amount of light
Will save me?
The darkness,
It is a toxin.
A toxin that
Slowly
Very slowly
Squeezes the life
And will to live
Out of me.
I might see you
Sooner than expected,
If no one saves me.
But of course
No one will.
~A.M.
