My Last Breath

Before you sleep take my last breath from my soul For I weep from the pain A pain so pensiveness it withers my insides away I have lost you in a place I felt safe, now I’m surrounded by dust and fog nearly blinding my eyes I’m scared and frightened by the rift between our hearts I am a petrified forest with bare limbs that have been stripped and lay abandoned You have plundered me into twisted hemp of disarray How could things have gone so wrong? How could we have lost the love and luster of yesterday? Was it really a love of reality? Clouded by desire and hunger and waiting at the gates of deception Eyes of jewels that spill a river far and wide Drown me in a red sticky cancer Shattered glass a portrait preview of two fractured in half I am floating alone in cold lonely vortex of cruelty while shards of you leave me unchanged You once needed me and made me feel alive Now I am dying not that knowing where your feelings really lay You say one thing then do another So confusing to say the least Could you be true and honest could you be clear to yourself Before you sleep take the ache from my broken insides today And breath my last breath

This is brilliant and beautiful. Leaving your pages for a while equates throwing away refined Gold into the pacific. Now I know why my hands itch when away from your pages. Top notch mental exhibition and a powerful seven. Its been a while wonderful friend!
