You said you’d die for me
protect me with your life.
I cried.
I begged.
I pleaded.
No!
How could you?
Why would you?
I won’t let you!
My life is nothing without you.
Words you reflected back at me.
Live for me.
Live for me.
You said you’d die for me
But no.
No that could never happen.
No force on Heaven, Hell, or Earth
could take you from me.
I will not let them.
I would not let you.
My life is mine to save.
My chances are mine to take,
and I am no damsel.
You will not leave me behind,
dying in the cold
of your absence.
No.
You told me that you’d die for me.
And so to stop you
I died instead.
