I Loved You To Death

Death can bring out the worst in people.

I loved the way your eyes

Filled with adoration 

At each glance.

I loved you to death.

I loved when your smile

Lit up the room

When I walked in.

I loved you to death.

I loved being in your arms

When they held me tight

And I finally felt safe.

I loved you to death.

I loved you when you were cold

Your heart turned to stone

And your eyes became dull.

I loved you to death.

I loved you though it hurt

When the darkness closed in

And I was left with just a memory.

I loved you to death.

I loved you in the night

When you were gone

And I laid there shivering.

I loved you to death.

I will love you always

But as I reach for my knife

With my last breath I'll say...

I loved you to death.

[Rebel Angel]

I love this. Its truthful. Its dark, and you can really see the story> its true you can love someone yet watch them change into someone that no longer loves you within a short period of time. I love on the poem progresses so quickly and your left feeling the pain of the charcter by the end. I love it x
