"I was here", the writing on the wall said. Her cold body lying down on the mat, Decorated in the lifeless blood She was drowning in... Her eyes almost seemed at ease. Somewhere between the seduction of suicide And the myriad of regret, Before she let herself slip Into the unknown, She must've realised she'd never feel again Pretty girl, Known by all, And loved by none. You chose to make death your saviour I can still hear your laughter When I told you life was beautiful. You were haunted, gentle girl But you were my secret lover.

The tragedy ragedy of my secret lover
"I was here", the writing on the wall said. Her cold body lying down on the mat, Decorated in the lifeless blood She was drowning in... Her eyes almost seemed at ease. Somewhere between the seduction of suicide And the myriad of regret, Before she let herself slip Into the unknown, She must've realised she'd never feel again Pretty girl, Known by all, And loved by none. You chose to make death your saviour I can still hear your laughter When I told you life was beautiful. You were haunted, gentle girl But you were my secret lover.
