No matter how much you fall from me, My arms cradle you, While embracing all of your warmth. Though it hurts, This is all I can do, Because I can't kiss you with all of my pent-up love. From your softly uttered giggle as my hand gently ruffles your hair, And the way your fingers eventually clung to my back, My heart swells out in happiness. So I prayed for the gods that I may never let you go, But on that day, I confessed to you with tears streaking down my face, As I held you for the very last time.

The coldness of your skin seeps through my fingers, Like broken glass, As I struggle to hold you close. With tears of ice, I whisper out your name over and over, In the hopes of bringing you back, Even while every part of me prickled with pain. Though it hurts me, I would still love you like this, Til my heart will stop beating its miserable rhythm. In an endless requiem of sorrow, My arms would engulf your ephemeral body, To the point where I'll eventually fall asleep next to you, And dream of never waking up again. Though I cradle you with all my might, I know I'm not strong enough, So I imagine your voice, And just touch you with my li

I used my mouth to force out those tiny, little words, But my voice gets lost within the crowd every time, As I desperately searched for your hand to grasp ahold of. Like faint echoes, My love for you repeated itself over and over inside my head, When the dull edge of my palm could no longer ease the heaviness of my chest. I reached out to you with all my sadness, Even if I had been much too weak to stand up on my own, Because you were always there to pick me right off the ground, The more scars I allowed on my skin, And the more stabs I let through my heart. But though I fell, And though I succumbed, All I want is to feel your warmth engulf

Reach into my chest and yank my heart out, Because I no longer want it, If it only causes me this much pain. Erase my abilities to feel, Because I no longer desire emotions, If it can't fix me from the inside out. Don't give me new wings to fly, Only to break them again... I'm already tired of repairing them, But every time, They just fall apart, All around my shameful grace. No matter how much I chase you, I grow farther and farther away.... Losing myself in the madness that is shattering the pieces that hold me together. I'm bringing myself to touch the mirror, Only to touch broken glass. And I wonder... If I could ever forget you?

"I love you." With all the words I could reach out, I'd trade them all away for a single glance, Just so you could look at me once more. "You're disgusting - get out of my sight." Without you, It feels really unbearable, Like I can't even hold on. I'm drowning in my own emptiness, As I think of all those chances that slipped by me. "I'll do anything for you." But if I pick up all those jagged shards, It would only hurt me more. "Look, stop wasting your time! Just stay away from me." So I search for you from afar, Only so you can leave out the door, With the grace of a million butterflies fluttering away in splendor. "No... please don'
