Till Death Do Us Part

Ease you worries, all the pain,
With a dose of cocain.

It numbs you down to the core,
Makes you high, makes you soar,
Till your begging for more.

But don't do too much, you'll lose your self,
Its not good for your mental health.

You won't even remember your name,
Then your life will be put to shame.

Just do enough to make you forget,
Loss of the day we ever met,
Deny the days when your face was wet.

Overlook the fact that I love you,
Trespassed into my heart, broke it, now I don't know what to do.

You've left me with scorched wings,
This lonely bird no longer sings,
Just because of all the horrible things,
My voice no longer rings.

Yet in my thoughts you remain,
Even though you cause me pain,

Your words I still retain,
Oh this pressure I sustain.

This soul aches to be with you, it yearns,
But yet I can't have you, my heart it burns.

Since my heart and mind you already infiltrate,
My body you might as well incinerate.

When I'm with you, I lose sight of reality,
You drive me to the point of insanity.

My mind is now a mess, askewed, a diaster,
Is the taste really worth chasing after?

Sometimes I feel like I've been used,
Left alone to die, tattered and bruised.

But other times I feel safe and secured,
Yet only when no one was around, you kept me in the dark, obscured.

Sometimes I think it has something to do with you dwelling on an old event,
But oyu have to move on, anything can go wrong or right, you cannot prevent.

I hate the when people dig into the past, its your past for a reason,
Forget about the past season,
And do not go out and create treason.

Have I not proven myself, what other test must I take,
I've already demonstrated that I'm not a fake,
So make up your mind already for goodness sake!

I want to be fixtured in your mind,
Hide out back there for you to find,
That I am unique and one of a kind.

I reminisce on the things we always did,
You never said what you felt, your emotions you hid,
Sealed it away, tightly lid,
I guess just to have no questions asked, to eliminate or rid,
Like an unwanted kid.

Hold me tight and never let go,
Let's pretend your mine, just go with the flow.

We can learn to love one another,
A bond stronger than brother, son and mother.

You can be the one to mend my heart, so full of dents,
Lets look forward, no need to look back, just focus on the present.

I want to keep you forever, you are someone I hold dear,
Losing you is everything I fear,
Just the thought makes me shed a tear.

This feeling inside me cannot be ignored, I will not be forgotten,
Even though I know this love has gone sour, stale, and rotten.

I will continue to hold that special place, that spot in my heart,
Loving you endlessly, till death do us part.
