Phantom Heart
Here I lie,
 In warmth and cold.
 A sword through my heart,
 My death is alone.
 
 The rain then falls
 Hitting my paling face.
 It makes me linger
 On how this all fell to place.
 
 I betrayed my family’s trust
 I let my brothers down.
 I turned my back on my teacher
 My beliefs were turned around.
 
 I had finally given up.
 I lost all hope and faith.
 My devil side won.
 I now leave this dreary place.
 
 How could I have been so blind?
 How could I have been so naïve?
 Now I realize it was foolish
 To actually try to believe.
 
 Someone is screaming my name.
 But I can’t hear them.
 My soul is dissolving
 Into my nothingness.
 
 I finally realize it’s not rain
 That hits my face.
 Instead it’s tears
 Of the one whom I had misplaced.
 
 His dark violet eyes open in grief
 As tears fall down his face.
 There I see his grief was strong
 While his anger was weak.
 
 He sobs in apology
 Though it’s entirely too late.
 But perhaps being run through by him
 Was my fate.
 
 I weakly raise my hand
 And hold it towards his face.
 But my attempt to reach it
 Was fruitless in sight plain.
 
 Before darkness over came me
 I murmured two words,
 “Don’t forget . . .”
 Would become my final murmur.
 
 But as my final moment came
 I now think of her.
 The one who I thought
 Would end my dispower.
 
 My heart finally stops
 And I smile in depart.
 I close my eyes and think of her.
 My Phantom Heart.
