I once left a trail

of rose petals along the path

which leads to a tree

beside the lake we once loved so much

for so long I waited here for you

over time the petals and tree had withered

but you never returned

for so long I lived with regret

thinking I'd see you again

and with every passing day

some more hope passed through

my bleeding fingertips

and I am left with more questions

than I do answers

living alone...

without you here...

my memory bleeds

my heart has died

once it was shut out in the cold

as I withered from your grasp

my faint echoes in the distance

is all that was left

echoes saying "I love you"

yet you're still gone

I've waited for so long

now I take some pills

and I fall asleep

hoping I don't wake up again

there was no goodbye

you just vanished

maybe this is all we were destined to be

maybe it was your intention

to hurt me

I can't say I forgive you

I can't say I forgot either

all I ask

is if one day I never wake up

and you walk up to my corpse;

please hold my hands

and give me one last kiss

before saying your last goodbyes...
