I can't stop.
I can't stop the rain from falling onto your flawless face.
I can't stop the tears from mixing in with the tears of the gods.
I can't stop.

I can't stop my heart from breaking whenever I look at you.
I can't stop my hands from reaching for empty air that you used to fill.
I can't stop my eyes from fluttering open in the middle of the night, fearing the darkness that my mind covers up till night falls.
I can't stop the world from ending.
I can't stop.

I can't stop my lungs from burning.
I can't stop my legs from shaking.
I can't stop the tears from soaking into my shirt.
I can't stop the blood from falling to the floor.
I can't stop.

I can't stop the pain from tearing me apart.
I can't stop the fire from feeding.
I can't stop my arms from scarring.
I can't stop the world from burning.
I can't stop my words from forming.
I can't stop my screams from being heard.
I can't stop.

I couldn't stop.

I'm so sorry.
