Apart

My eyes burn from the visions of hate
That I see everyday.
Some are too painful to tell.
I don't know what went wrong,
Or how I got lost along the way.
I'm on my own in a place far away
From where I'm meant to be.
All alone from my one true love.
The shadows grab at me
And they push and shove.
When I'm not around you
I'm not good enough.
Without you I'm incomplete
And anything but whole.
You have taken my heart and soul.
If I lost you, I'd break down and cry,
If you left me, I'd curl into a ball and die.
The razor bites my flesh
As my love for you spills to the floor.
My heart screams for your love
And it begs me for more.
But I can see you don't want me
And would rather I leave you be.
So I'll let you go my love,
I'll tell you goodbye,
And plunge ever deeper into myheart
The knife that I know will numb
The pain and strife
That is tearing me apart.
It's cold beneath my skin
Without the warmth of your touch.
The beast inside fights its rage
Because without you I'm not free-
I feel like I'm in a cage.
My wrists open like the wings of a butterfly
Against the cold steel of the knife
Pressed against my veins.
I'll open them for you
To show how much you mean to me.
Just like you opened yourself
So we could be free.
But now you want out
And don't want anymore.
So I'll let you go my love
I'll tell you goodbye.
And plunge ever deeper into my heart
The knife that I know will numb
The pain and strife
That is slowly tearing me apart.
