Hello, everyone! Behold -- my first contribution to the wonderful world of Wattpad! Interestingly enough, it's a dark, depressing poem; a bit unusual for me, no? At any rate, this "poem" was actually originally written as lyrics to a song; when you read it, put it to any tune you want. I had something similar to Shinedown or Hurt in mind, but you can imagine it however you like! This isn't great, but please -- tell me what you think!

My hand shakes,

My heart breaks

As I slowly watch you die inside.

Your grief is mine.

My pain is blind.

We hurt together, side by side.

A flip of a coin,

A toss of the dice,

Death comes always,

Ending life.

This fact makes it hurt no less.

It kills me, but I stay.

Never stopping,

Dark relentless,

Death will come;

Light won't protect us.

But you don't have to hurt alone --

It kills me, but I'll stay.

I know I can't  leave you

alone;

I am your anchor.

It kills me, but I stay.

My hand shakes,

My heart breaks

As I slowly watch you die inside.

Your grief is mine.

My pain is blind.

We hurt together, side by side.

And,

though it kills me,

we'll hurt together --

WE --

I

will not

leave

you.

It kills me and I stay.
