The tears finally came,
Making their way through the now open cage.
A little stream turns into a raging waterfall.
It’s all starting to fall apart.
I’m drifting through this wasteland called life.
As I hold this knife feeling miles apart inside.
I think of what is waiting for me.
A dead cold cemetery, a moonlight night, a lone wolf’s cry.
A heart shattering sound filled with pain and heart ache.
Will I ever fill this hollow ache?
My sorrows are drowning me.
Would it be so bad to just close my eyes forever?
To let go of these things bounding me to this Earth?
To let my soul be finally free?
I want to let go, what’s holding me here?
Why can’t I let go?
When I wake, I feel his cold hands on my tear stricken face.
I heard his voice calling me, begging me to stay.
I was filled with rage; I open my eyes and see his lovely blue eyes filled with worry and pain.
He’s crying muttering
“I was afraid I would lose the one thing that kept my heart beating.”
There are blood stains on his shirt, he was covered in blood.
That’s when I knew it wasn’t his blood, it was mine.
There were stitches in my wrists, I.V’s in my veins, oxygen being pushed into my body from a tube strapped to my face.
“I was here the whole time, begging for my angel to stay.”
It had been his voice guiding me, leading me back.
He puts my hand over his heart; a faint but rapid thud was under my palm.
“If you hadn’t made it I would have just given up”
Our souls were one. When I was in pain he felt it to.
If one of use went the other would follow soon.
We were destined to be together.
Everyone knows it’s true.
To him I say,
My heart was beating, it’s beating for you. You never gave up that’s why I pulled through. Now I swear to keep it beating, I promise I’ll never let go. You’re what keeps me alive. To you I’m forever true”
You begged and pleaded for me not to cut, you told me you were there to listen. You said to never give up.
A month ago I wouldn’t have believed it,
Now I see just how much you truly mean it.
It took a tragedy to open my eyes, but now I know they’ll never be closed.
I won’t be alone.
I have you to hold,
I have you…
I have…
I…
I’m drifting falling asleep but I know I will wake with the morning sun and live my life without pain and regret.
