For You, Anita

Memory of a person, whom i miss dearly

"Angel of Mercy, how did you find me?"

Those were the words that fell from your lips that day

Your bloodstained ones

Crimson splashed with purple against your pale skin

The blood splattered against the wall

Tells of the deed you have committed

The blood still is on my hands

I see you, I miss you

I remember those old days

When we used to play on the swings

And bike until our legs gave way

Those, were the good days

Now it's all so different

You died, disappeared from my life

Dead and gone

You used to always make hints at what you were going to do

Was it that I didn't listen?

Or was it just that I didn't want to believe it

Until the day you died

The rain never stopped that day

From the moment I woke up

I felt empty

Saturday was your funeral

Did you know that I sang for you?

Did you know, that half way through the song, I cried?

It's not better when you leave everything behind, dear

It makes it more painful for the people to live

That's what I'm doing now,

Living a life, with the memory of you

Pulling me down slowly

Tugging me into the abyss

Until, one day

I disappear.
