The Collapse of A Severed Artery

 

 

Take my severed hand

Hold my fingers tightly

Slip from me my ring

Slowly off my fingertip

Remember all my life

I thought I could survive

 

Streaming the pain

Drowning in the poison rain

Barely keeping afloat

Losing all hope

My last thoughts are of you.

 

I have become

By your hands, the man I’ve always wanted to be

In this sorrowed hour

Past a love that’s flowered

Place it now on my name

Written on my grave

 

I felt the consequence for loving you

To watch your heart break,

When there was nothing I could do

How much more can you take

Will you remember me

 

Watching all the memories

Slowly passing by

Like our favorite movies

Like our favorite lies

We settled in this life by chance

And in defense

I leave loving you

 

So, take my severed hand

Hold my fingers tightly

Slip from me my ring

Slowly off my fingertip

Remember all my life

I thought I could survive
