He reached for her hand whispering “I don’t want to lose you”
As the bell begins to toll, remember the nights so long ago
Shooting stars and crashing waves upon the sand
A thousand stories and secrets given so freely
I thought my fairytale had just begun, but as the tears
Fall from your blue eyes I realize this was simply a lie
Curled up beneath my comforter, your letters lie
In torn bits across the floor, watch the candle set flame
To what had once been words of assurance and adoration
Numbness begins to crawl across my shoulders and down my arms
Causing the last memory of you to slip from my mind
And before I can even wrap my mind around this misconception
Your eyes dry and the same smile replaces all hope
Of a future, I am standing right before you and yet,
I know I am dead in your mind,
And as you reach for my hand I cannot help but whisper,
“but you don’t want to keep me either”
