On a Broken Edge

If only I had one wish, I'd wear the smile you gave me Would a dime or my life be enough for your profit? Why should I be the rain that poured? I met the worst of me Blood stained on my knees as I begged more Please close your eyes and... Suffocate Me with your absence As I wept On your floor Senses fail as veins collapse Under expectations Expectations I'll see you there Across the shore Swim as far as you can before You're out of breath You're chasing death You're on your tail You're on her tail Biting at a grim chance to take her place With a smirk or a grin Finding the words The words to say to a whining widow Avert your gaze It's all your fault As the ice breaks You're too lifeless but hopeful that you'll ever... You'll never see my eyes again.
