It lurks in the darkness,
As I sit here alone.
It reveals itself slighty,
The love that I've known.
It creeps farther and farther,
Until I can no longer resist.
The reasons I love her,
Too many to list.
Her beautiful smile,
Her overwhelming smarts,
The way she laughs,
Her purity of heart.
But then there is him,
The love of her life,
Always one step ahead,
Leaving me with a knife.
Blood drips down my arm,
My sleeves start to stain.
You aren't worth this
Unimaginable pain.
But I can't stop this feeling,
The love in my heart,
Tear me to pieces,
Rip me apart.
Please just leave me,
Stop messing with my head.
There's no time to save me,
I'm already dead.
