I thought of you as I fell, As I caught a glimpse of hell; But I saw this world beyond its spell, And I had no more strength to dwell.
I thought of you with my last pill, Just before my heart sang still; I wanted only to take it back; But once begun, one can't leave this track.
There was a single second before the bullet slay; Time alone for one last thought; And with all my heart I could only pray, That your soul would never rot.
In truth, you're the only thing I'll miss; In a life this lost, you were my only bliss.
But I was broken long ago, And each smile was merely show; I lost the war years before we'd met; From birth I was doomed for regret.
They may have made me cry, But my tears were only for you; I've long been destined to die, And this pain was nothing new; I just didn't want to say goodbye, For you were the only friend I knew.
Don't blame yourself that I died; I felt you there when you tried, But the infection was far too deep; This is the only way I know to sleep.
Love doesn't disappear with death; I love you long past my last breath.
So please promise me you won't follow; Please promise me your soul won't hollow; Please promise me you'll overcome this strife, And please promise me you'll still live life.
