Clarity at the cost of US
The dark and thick
Flow of blood,
The sacred red
Mixing in mud,
The wound of betrayal
Still fresh on flesh,
My heart carries
That burning ash,
The trembling lips
Uttering gibberish,
Trying to control
My pace of breath,
It's scared to the core
Writhing in pain,
Some words of comfort
It's trying to gain,
The bond we shared
As our safety net,
You cut it out
On my deathbed,
The promise to heal
Broken pieces of soul,
To complete each other
And become as whole,
The looming shadows
Of cruel past,
Roaring clouds
Striking lights,
You show me
The monster hiding inside,
Destroying us
By resting in plain sight;
The touch of reality
Slipping from my grasp,
The sense of clarity
At the end collapses,
The charming smile
Wiped off my face,
The sight of you
Held my final gaze.
