my thoughts of you
cursed me with the courage to pull through

now you're just another face

reliving it all, as i try
to rediscover the reason why
i chose you over my quest to die

but, i can't remember why i wanted love

it's not your fault, this is all me
and my undying desire for misery
you came along and ***** up my agony

i hope you can understand

i have to kill you
to bring back the pain
to dwell forever in hollow memories
all that will remain

your only sin was being perfect

and when i salt the wounds
that your absence will leave
i'll silently thank you
for this sweet grief

my love will mean more, once you're gone

every night, alone in bed
replaying your violent death
hating myself more, with each breath
loving you for the scars you left [comments] => 3 [counter] => 184 [topic] => 22 [informant] => Cancer [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LostLove ) Your Poetry Dot Com - killing that which i love

in darkest gloom
my thoughts of you
cursed me with the courage to pull through
