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.
