Cold and hard the metal bites
A swallowed capsule ends the night
Scribbled words are all that's left
His life is gone
A high crime theft

It's just too hard
He's all alone
The noose was tied
And set in stone

Breaths were numbered
Affairs were made
His meager worth was left unsaved

His tears were hot
His breath was cold
A coward's story will not be told

Those who look
Will fear his name
They stop their search
To feel his pain

They just won't care
And that is why
He left this earth
My love, goodbye

There's only one
Who truly sees
The truth behind the lie of 'me'

A coward's wish
Bled out in ink
To please move on
Raise a glass and think

It's what I wanted
And so it gave
You could not have stopped
My early grave

Death was sweet
The silence true
A burden light
For life anew

Things forgotten
No longer cared
And so they left him buried there

Only one was left alone
Hollow eyes stared down at stone
It was only one
But there they stood
Though no one knew
Or said they should

"I still remember"

Is whispered soft
A teardrop staining heavy cloth

The wind is sharp
It doesn't care
But still the figures standing there

"I won't forget"

Is whispered strong
Although the grave has been there long

Now, they turn
Their eyes closed tight
The stars above still twinkling bright

Goodbye for now
I'll see you soon
Even though it seals my doom

I promised then
I promised now
I can still remember our wedding vow

Joined as one
From here to death
Just me and you
Till nothing's left

Except you left
I understand
The blackness came
And you chose death

You could not control
What you felt that night
And all you saw
Was how you're right

The slimy hands
Of depression; grief
Would not let go
Haunted you in sleep

There's no escape
Until there was
And now we're here
The story's done

I could've helped
At least I'd've tried
You could have asked
I saw your eyes

They screamed of hate
Of loneliness
Depression crept without a trace

You hid it well
But still, I saw
And yet you left before the draw

I needed love
You needed time
I tried to understand your rhyme

I can't do more
So now we're done
I won't forget
You're the only one

Who stole my heart
It beat for you
And yet you left it cracked in two

But like I said
Before this time
I understood
My tears are dry

Our love's not done
It never was
I'll see you soon
I know because...

This is it
The end of me
Just one step
Tied to a tree

I close my eyes
Take a breath and count
I have to hurry
Or be found out

People stop and look
Eyes wide in shock
My clock runs out
Tick tock, tick tock

And so the end
The chapter's done
My smiling face
Will meet the sun

I grasp you tight
As we look down
You're all I need
That's why I frown

You shake your head
Eyes filled with tears
And yet you push me from your fears

I tell you no
It's what I want
But still, you know it's just a thought

I wake up cold
My heart beats quick
An empty bed is where I sit

My shoulders slump
It's just a dream
But still, your intentions aren't left unseen

You told me no
I have to stay
And so I will
My love, today

I'll start anew
Move on from grief
I'll live for us
Grin wide and think

It's what I wanted
You knew me best
Of course you did
Even past your death

I won't forget
That is a fact
But, of course
You knew my track

Only up
Leading close to you
And then
In time...

I'll run to you

A/N Not exactly sure where this one came from. I'm still not sure if I like it or not but... oh well I suppose. Hope you at least enjoyed reading it so... heh heh.

Hope your day is extra-extraordinary,
