You are clearly an angel in love with a beast
This room is becoming your life's grave
This is where a ****** will happen
I will **** the only body I want to save

I watched myself make a mess of life
I am scared of what comes next for us
My lungs cannot produce enough air
To apologize for causing this fuss

You are beautiful, outside and within
I wish I could take hurt from your heart
I host dreams of unfound happiness
A chance to someday restart

I am in the icy grip of pain
The devil dwells between our sheets
Heart beating faster, trying to believe
There will be no more miserable defeats

You will always wear an invisible hole
A blank space left carelessly by me
An assault in the form of betrayal
Won't you run from the monster I've become and flee?

I dread the day I cannot wake you up
Feeling helpless, I watch you softly die
I'm not capable of halting the harm, can't keep you safe
Or save you from death, I have no choice but to continue to try
I wish I was better
