Love was forever, it foolishly seemed
Remember when we chased our dreams?
We lived in our everlasting pursuits
Do you reminisce about the peace we pursued?
All of our dreams were crushed at the start
By the angel that had touched our hearts
Let the angel have mercy on your soul
You may have been broken, but you've never been whole
May the light of her wings blind your eyes
May the truth of this dream outweigh your lies
Because this wasn't a fairytale we lived in
It was a nightmare filled with your sin
Ghoulish monsters singing of horrid lies
Stopped and stared at our widened eyes
Singing in sweet voices of cataclysms
Their momentary pauses stopping the rhythms
As if they obstructed the flow of time
They froze like they were crystallized
Venom flooding through their purple veins
Poisoning them, spreading like flames.
The angel descended, breaking through the sky
Suddenly a banshee adorned in lies.
Poisoning our hearts with the bitter sting of hate
It seems a life of ignorance was never our fate.
So now I stand, my will bound in chains
The banshee had arrived, taking the reins
Steering the carriage into a modern time
Where rape and murder was not a crime
As I'm taken, my eyes search frantically for you
Skittish and feverish, I didn't know what to do
My eyes look up the heavens, the clouds
Where I imagine I can see your face looking down
The banshee had wailed, you had ascended
To a place not worthy of you, called Heaven
You're now an angel that had touched my poisoned heart
Conflicting my feelings, tearing me apart
This world of death and hate was not for you
But now I am alone, which I should have known,
It would happen eventually, you were a living angel
But without you, this world's all the more painful
But perhaps I can endure, with my heart bound in chains
'I belonged to her!' it selfishly proclaims
But yet, it seems you didn't want to have this burden
My vision goes black; Satan pulls the curtain
Now I awaken with frostbite, every breath billowing crystals
If I could, I would use every last breath to give you jewels
But I have lost my chance, now in another dimension
Love, I swear, that was never my intention
All I wanted, was to see some light in your dead eyes
I imagined I could see your ghost flying through the skies
Because you will be reborn an angelic figure, all pure
While I wither in this realm, my poison has no cure.
It fed on my heart, on this strange emotion I feel
When I would see you smile, I would wish it was real
But you were pretending, being selfless once again
I wish I hadn't foolishly loved you, then
But it was beyond my small, worthless amount of control
I may have been broken, but you made me whole
So now I wish upon every star, dim in comparison
As I wither apart by the slightest fraction
My lips could speak wishes every waking day
But I'd never be able to speak what I want to say
Just to look into your eyes and say that I love you
My heart quickening, hoping you loved me too
But now I selfishly wish you would come back to me
But then I remember you're in heaven, perfectly happy.
I would never wish to take you away from where you belong
But now my eyes weep sorrow, I've been doing it all along
If I could summon every tear I've ever shed
I'd hold them in my overflowing hands
And hope that it was enough to say I'm truly sorry
But I guess it was my own, foolish folly.
So with the tears freezing in my shaking hands
More tears fall down without my command
Yet again, I apologize, for all I've done wrong
And wish, once again, that I hadn't done it all along.
Now I reminisce about the nameless emotion I feel
This realm is my punishment, every part real.
Now I will shatter, to never be whole in anyone's eyes
To never see the blue of the endless skies
But then my mind wanders again to your eternal life
And I smile, not caring I won't have an afterlife
So while I die every day inside, I hope you see
That I foolishly want you to live every moment for me.
