We're so close,

Yet so far out of touch,

No one can take the place of someone so close to your heart,

No one can mend the madness that lurks closer as time beckons,

Your chest lies open bleeding,

The sweet elixor of the fun times together is what mends yet causes the broken soul,

You might imagine the sorrowful song I sing,

But you always know that your love must come to an end some day,

And so the day - once it shall arrive,

How will you be left?

I shall tell you so -

Upon the ground with your chest ripped open,

And your eyes shut looking through your memories,

And your mind closed to any possible leads,

With your spirit gone and your soul left behind to wander 'till you find what you can no longer have,

And your liquid salt - pure, bitter, and try to your thoughts,

Sting the ground as they fall,

Nothing matters but the past,

And the past is gone,

You're left in the wake of a time already lived,

Like an angel with her wings broken,

All you can think about is the darkness within,

As it clouds your eyes and distorts your mind,

'Till your crawling in sickness and wretching in pain,

And you watch your life just slip away,

This is the twisted love that everyone has known,

We know the fate but we fail to let it go,

Why did you go?

Why can't you come back?

Please let it be a dream,

Not my destiny,

And fate wraps it's hands around my neck,

As I watch you go.
