You look at me and smile
I cock my head to the side
The pain is like liquid in your eyes
Black, shiny, starless
You tell me you almost died last night
Tried to die last night
Silent, alone
Swallowing the poison that would make your heart hurt
For the last time
But do you know what death is?
Do you know how beautiful you are?
Can't you see how much I love you
The suffering your death would bring?
Cry on my shoulder
Give me all the pain and loss and loneliness
And don't leave (not yet)
Just let me love you
