This is it. The only way to end the relentless suffering which has spread its veins through every wall of my heart. The only way to let go of the invincible pain that consumed every bit of my soul. It is time to show some mercy on the wretched heart and release it from its torment. Yes, it's time to bury myself.

As you greet the beautiful dawn
It's time I embrace the darkness drawn

As your life takes a beautiful turn
It's time I let my journey burn

As you soak in the sweet rains of love
It's time my heart has become a barren cove

As you dance to celebrate your joy
It's time I let out the emotion cloyed

As you welcome the blissful spring
It's time I cuddle the shivers winters bring

As your nights bring a happy dream
It's time I fight the nightmares making me scream

As you gradually fill your world with her
It's time I realise keeping you in mine is an err

As you start feeling safe in her arms
It's time I face the underlying harms

As her care tenderly heals you
Its time I tend to my own wound

As her kisses make you breathless
It's time I see my bruises making me restless

As you two become inseparable
It's time I know my damage is irreparable

As she becomes your every happy moment
It's time I accept I could do nothing but lament

As the book of your life starts a new chapter
It's time I end the story about a captor

As you unearth a new life
It's time I bury my own life

The untold words, the unexpressed emotion
The notion of seeing you as the heart of the ocean

Everything goes under six feet
A place there would be no retreat

Never imagined that a part of me must be buried
In order to let the rest of me to be lived
