Void Of Time

How is it possible
that I'm losing time
while time doesn't move.
This should be a crime.

I'm here because
my friends were worth protecting.
But who will save me
as I sit here rotting?

I feel myself slipping
away with the tide.
A little more everyday
I wish I had died.

But wait, something's changed,
this isn't a lie.
My heart flutters a bit
every time I see Skye.

She's reckless as hell
but has the most beautiful face.
I want her to be mine
beside her is my place.

She makes the endless void
a little more bearable.
So now being alone
isn't so terrible.

I hope she feels the same,
her love is all I want.
Skye's given me a reason
and that's all I've ever sought.
