cw: implied death through asphyxiation

AN: yes the title is a quote from beauty is empty by mars argo

how i wish that all those memories we made together would vanish
since i cannot look at anything without seeing you

the comfort of the night sky has been drowned by my tear-dwelling eyes;
every star looks like one of your many birthmarks
with the luminating moon as a sign of the nights that i endlessly spent thinking about you

my bed, it shines upon
not even here i can rest easily
i wish to just lie here with you instead

those nights i seeked comfort with you in my thoughts
have been washed up by aches and weeping
and the slow abandonment of the vessel that my body is

wasting away into a restless night of still hearing your voice
all those words you said to me you wouldn't dare to think of again
never would i have thought that those sweets would ever end up being nothing
nothing at all for you

the emptiness of these words echoing in your voice
they're haunting me, insulting me, attacking me
holding a tight grip on my throat
while i am waiting for them to hold on even tighter

so i can finally drift to an eternal sleep
since i can't stand being awake without you.
