Chills run up my arms and down my back as I walk the dirt road in front of me
The feelings of loneliness and sorrow begin to fill my mind again as the memory of you whispers in the wind
I breathe in the sound of your last "I love you" and the words burn in my lungs
Leaves have faded to nothing just as you did and snow is falling like the frozen tears from the year before, returning from their hollow hideouts, reminding me of the pain that feels like it happened only moments ago
Lights sparkle but all I see is blurry smears running away all too quickly,
dissipating before I have the chance to hold on to your glow
My eyes are burning again, but not because of the cold
I feel your shadow close behind me and I know I have to run
I can't let this start all over, I won't be able to remain solid this time
My heart starts pumping, beating furiously, the way it did when you left
I run so hard that I don't see the obstacles right in front of me
My knees and hands hit the rocks and crimson regret trickles down my skin
Then the pain floods over me, consuming my every breath
You're beautiful
We're perfect together
I won't leave
You can trust me
I love you
The lies leave bruises and cuts in my flesh, severing the feelings of bliss
Blackness crawls over me as I give in to the hurt
I lay on the rocks, the frozen tears burying me in the loss of a love
