The pain fades ever so slowly now
His poisonous venom seeping from my heart
This venom is unlike any other though
It is stronger than that of anh snake, spider, or other beast
I was so oblivious to the effect it would have on me
A ruby red rose glistening in the light of dawn
Harmless right?
Wrong.
I wanted the rise to call my own
Longing for its velvety petals to caress my scarred skin
I was not even the slightest bit careful
I did not look before I lept
Little did I know the rose had thorns
Lots of them
They added to my ever growing collection of scars
The walls I spent years building up came crumbling down
Coursing through my veins, the poison took over my body
My glass heart shattered into millions of shards
Every breath is a struggle now
Every moment forced to be spent on this earth a living hell
As the venom leaves, a new emptiness replaces it
I feel nothing now, like my body is paralyzed
Something good will come from all of this right?
The empty must eventually go away
It has to
Hope is the only thing left keeping me alive
Hope is moving on to greater things
My hope is fading faster than the venom though
With my last breath, I decide that whatever is coming isn't worth waiting for
And with that I leap, not even bothering to look first
I am feather light as the world around me slowly fades into darkness
