We Both Died From Love

I find myself walking,

Oh so far,

My footsteps are hollow,

And my tears flow freely,

I wish to get away,

Away from you,

Away from my past,

I just wish to get away,

The next thing I knew…I saw lights,

They were oh so bright,

I stood dazed in the middle of the road,

All those lessons I learned when I was smaller forgotten,

I felt the impact,

I was forced to as the truck hit me full speed,

They didn’t see me,

But I did see my life flash before my eyes that day,

I saw when I took my first steps,

I saw how glad I was when I met you,

I saw how proud of you I was when you learned to swim,

I saw a lot,

You may be thinking..

Well, I sound happy,

Almost like I had the perfect life,

I didn’t,

Those were just a few selected memories,

Ones that cleared my conscience,

The rest were ugly,

Oh, so very ugly,

I saw myself being slapped,

Even felt it,

I saw myself squeezing an open wound for more blood,

I even smelt the blood and saw the razorblade,

I saw a lot flash before my eyes in such a small time,

But mainly I saw you,

I saw my love shining proudly back at me,

And felt like a retard,

In those last few seconds before death took me,

I whispered your name and it came out in a choke,

Blood overflowed on my lips when I did so,

But I didn’t regret that,

I just regretted everything else that I had done,

When I had broken up with you,

When I had cheated on you,

When…when I had turned my back on your broken heart,

I died that day,

A few seconds after whispering your name,

You died six months later,

And rumors spread,

Rumors that said I had killed myself,

I had tried that before,

Rumors that you died of a broken heart,

Now that I believed,

No matter how you died,

I still and always will love you,

You were my guardian angel,

And we both died from love…
