You Are

If there is one person in the world
who is what I use to be
it would be you.
From the first time we talked
I knew I was talking to myself.

It's weird cause I was your age
when darkness started to consume me.
I thought I could save you like the rest,
but I was wrong.

Even though I could not see your eyes,
I saw right through your words on the screen.
It's scary to know you are the black rose I was.
You are the shattered girl I was.
You are my reflection.
You are the one people said couldn't be saved.

How could this be happening?
We are two different people,
yet we are the same inside.

I tried to save you.
I did my best.
I gave everything I had.
In the end I couldn't save you.

When darkness meets light they don't mix.
They battle till only one survives.
You were pushing me away.
Your darkness was to heavy.

I could of saved you,
but you asked too much of me.
I couldn't risk the fall.
I couldn't risk your life.
I had to do what was right.
I had to take flight.
I couldn't save you.

You are what I was.
You are what I try and save.
You are the black rose that I watch wilt away.
You are what I could not save.

To you I am not your hero.
To you I am your lover.
To me I am nobody's hero.
