only for you for me

ONLY FOR YOU FOR ME.
I cant save you anymore
Why wont you try to understand? 
Its over for you now
The time to rest is drawing near
And the final stages of pain you must bear
Instead of handing them to me
To recycle and give them back
Like lessons you must learn 
Minus the sharp edges
Which I absorb unknown to you
Only for you for me.
But now when I cant
You think that I wont
But I want to take your pain
You just don’t understand 
You’re going down for the final time
And you don’t want to do it alone
What can I do? What can I do?
Only for you for me.
My hands tremble as I hold you close
And melt inside you to be closer more
I hold and kiss and warm your heart
But I cant make it beat
I feel your blood rushing crashing pounding
Like a train shooting through me
And the stark reality that I do not exist
Hits me like a silver coated bullet
Making me look as if I was turned inside out
And covered in blood
Only for you for me.
I fold my life into a flower
And offer it to you now
To do with it whatever your wish may be
But you only see the thorns
Yes, you can’t help but notice all the thorns
Crush it gently in your palm
And throw it into a fishpond somewhere
In the heart of paradise
Only for you for me.
I am wholly yours,
Only yours and nothing more
Forgiving, forgiving everyday
Bleeding in every possible way
It began in the stars
The beginning is long gone
Hundreds of chapters behind
The in-between was over yesterday
And this is the beginning of the end
Only for you for me.
