You may have taken my pride,Knowing it was killing me inside.But after all these years,And all my pain filled tears.I will look right into your eyes,And watch them suddenly fill with surprise.When you see what I have done,You will realize that I have actually won.My blood slowly cascades to the floor,This coldness I yearn to further explore.I can see that you are panicking on what to do,Knowing that my end is something you cannot just undo.As I dawn a smile on my face,You are forced to catch me in your embrace.I am not able to stand anymore,But the anguish on your face is something I adore.I can feel my life starting to slip away,While I can still hear you begging for me to stay.I close my eyes for the last time,Knowing my light will no longer shine.
