I watched the life slowly drain from her eyes

The smile fade from her lips, I enjoyed the soft moan of her cries

I saw all the sweet memories we shared pass her eyes

I wanted her to die

Let that love go with her, let it die

Fade into oblivion, never see the light

That girl is dead, but I shall live to fight

When first we met he showered me with evian water from glaciers far away

I felt his love caress my limbs with passion

A lush rose bright as crimson, stem evergreen

He broke my petals off one at a time

So quietly they fell

My thorns grew sharper

I watched my beauty fall away, I felt my shine leave me and still i stayed.

He blamed me for my ugliness, my sharp tongue and crass.

I can feel him behind me, the chills running down my back tell me he’s staring. I can only see my eyelids, I can only hear the night traffic, and all I can smell is the downy in my sheets. But I can feel him, I know he’s there. What does he want tonight? Is he finally here to take me? Or is he just here to remind me yet again. My peace can be disrupted by the chills down my back and the darkness behind me.
