Undying to a yawning void Giving in - giving up Resigning I submissively retreat Unvarnishedly blunt I can't brace myself For the pain to persist For the strain to resist For salvation I dismissed countless layers Born from despair Torn into pieces Shattered beyond repair Nothingness - emotionless Licking the same old wounds again Warts and all - not made up Unfolding scars that never heal So I give up You were the fire You were the light You were the flame That brightened the night You were the source of hope You were unborn You are undying You stay unknown Neither time will heal Nor the words that you say Could you take this darkness away? Nothing left to do Nothing else left to say Nothing keeps my hope from decay Neither tears I cry Nor the verses I pray (Could) ever wash this sadness away Nothing left to undo Nothing left to unsay Would you please release me today? You were my everything You were the one who lead the way You were my deepest love I hope we meet again one day You were my breath of life You were my hope. You were my might Peace be with you Wait for me on the other side
