When a relationship dies
The victim is not always
The one left behind
Sometimes the better half
Innocent and naive
Is the one holding the blade
After being stabbed
Countless times til nearly dead
They have the right to live
When both brutal options
End in blood and homicide
Their forced decision is life
Only one heart remains alive
To bear the shame of pain on the knife
It wasnt the good part who deserved to die
He was selfish and suffocating
She stayed true always stifling
Screams that swallowed her soul
The inflicter of secret wounds
Now has his own cuts to bear
Fatal yet deserving
Murdered by the angel
Too scarred to be recognized
By wounds he readily dealt
Changed into a phantom, only choice;
**** what caused her death inside
Her best friend, a beautiful corpse
His undead body moves
She put out the fire in his eyes
Though both ghosts stopped breathing
They unwillingly survive
