If you had let me wait
I had grown from listlessness
into peace
if you had let me rest with the dead
I had forgot you
and the past.


If you had let me rest,
Bedded with the bones of dread,
I had outlived the both of us,
And forsaken what you'd taken.
If you had let me be,
Without falling to your knees you see,
I may have been able to make it out,
For instead you unearthed me just to kiss my lips again.

Had we never met,
At the crossroads between heaven and hell,
With our maps all folded,
Our hearts too lost.
Had I never seen your face in the rain,
There was a chance for me.
Yet now my grave is open,
I am forced to live again,
There was a time I begged to live,
Now it's time I begged to die.
