Written On A Wall

For You

I am ashamed.

Of everything I sacrificed to love you.

How far beneath I had to fall to let you rise above.

But you shimmer so beautifully with me far below.

The sight is almost worth the loss of the stars.

I dimmed the night sky for you;

So you could glow.

You used my gift to cast me into the shadows.

I perpetually break to protect you.

You use my strength when you know I will crumble.

I loved you so blindly.

I was there when you feared the silence.

I chased away what left you feeling lonely.

I was true in my love for you.

It never shook,

I never questioned.

I only loved.

But to love you was poison.

Poison that wouldn't end my life, but creep through my veins.

Poison that killed my heart without stealing the beat that keeps me walking.

So I can keep running away.

Murderer.
