Within Eternal Flames

My Baby Shot Me Down

I was once special..

As I let my blood fill my lungs

You ran off with your guns

Uncertain of where to turn to,
you stumble and fall

While I drop to my knees and start to crawl

Struggling for safety

I hold the holes in my soul

" No matter where you go I'll follow you."

I can still feel the excitement and nervousness you gave me when you said
       those
              words ..
-

That day

          Darkness

Is what I begin to feel

" No matter the wounds we will always heal"

I believed those words

Now the blood spills out of my lips

I wanted nothing more than your bliss

And I should have never given you that sacred kiss

The kind that makes you forget the world exists.

Your heart starts to pound

Can you feel the adrenaline?

It's the same kind I felt the day I gave you my flower

    Now there's nothing left

I'm completely devoured

It was never this harsh,

Our love and our cares

And when our friends started to stare

Keeping it together was beyond compare

       It wasn't FAIR!

Though,
I did all I could to stay by your side

Even when a part of me surely had died
-

I saw you with the woman we called "Our dear friend"

After that,
you no longer wanted to pretend

That we were perfect and that we were fine

You no longer wanted to be mine

I accepted this path

For I did my very best

          But

I'm starting to feel this odd pain
fill my
    entire

          chest.

And what was to happen next?

I never would have guessed

For I seen this end from a mile away..

Unable to fully accept 

I kept pushing forward!

But I was only delaying the inevitable.
