In love and death

In you I need the very breath that you breathe,

to be what I am in love with you.

My heart is broken by the crushing demise,

how I need you to accept me inside.

In love to the death our lives have become,

as I remember what it felt like to live.

The softest touch left in my heart,

bleeding brokenness away from me.

Warmth covers my soul next to you,

heartbeat so pure my fantasies.

I am the shadow you are the rain,

pouring your light within me.

Never a way to understand,

never a reason not to fall.

Finding the end within,

tearing life and love apart.

Hold me one more time,

as love and death collide.
