May you take my breath away,
gasp by gasp in fear, in laughter, in anger,
until there is no life left in my hollow lungs.
When you stand before me, looming like the devil I know,
I can only stare in horror as my soul is claimed by the unknown.
My eyes can only widen in the pure terror;
As it's happened again, though this time,
I should have known better.
It's not the first, oh no,
definitely not the first time,
I've been betrayed, I've been hurt, I've been stabbed,
though it hurts freshly nonetheless, bleeding softly into the night.
I should have known you were no different,
I should have known you were not like minded,
I should have known you would come to hurt me;
Though in my happiness, I was ignorant,
the shame, the shame, oh what a shame I am now,
within my mind and memories of lessons I had learned,
yet horribly forgotten.
