AS THE GLOW SUBSIDES

Your glow shines upon me
Blinding my existence
Burning my flesh down to my soul
Feeding me full of love

Stick me up between the bright lights in your heart
That used to hit my face constantly
But bounce off of yours

You can protect yourself
But you can't help me
I'm tired and weak

Your life is becoming
As my life is undone
I can’t make it through another day
This glow can only last so long
It came with not a guarantee
And has finally ended

I promised I’d live forever
Neither life nor death
What shall I do now?
You broke your vow
Why shouldn’t I break mine?

I can’t bear to be without you
This isn’t what I asked for
I seek protection
I reach a mutation

Something’s gone wrong
Lock the doors, fill the moats
Put out the candles
And help me because I’m falling

My body is numb
My lips are colder than ice
Yet my eyes seem to be warmer than the sun
Because blood never feels cold
No matter how long it has drained from your being

I’m so afraid
I’m unsure and unaware
Should I go?
Of course your answer is no
But I can’t hear it
I can’t taste your love

It is pitch black
The glow has finally ended
I have dreaded this day for entirely too long

Taken to my final extent
I extend the blade further
Digging out my veins
Piling them onto the snow
I scream out in pain
Choking on my tears, I cry
As I hit the ground
