Stay with me.
Hold my head above water.
I'm sure it won't be long now...

And I've never needed you more

We've come so far
You and I...look where we are
So much love, so many years

But all good things...

I cried a river of tears over you
You couldn't have known
I know that you didn't...never...

"Silence like a cancer grows..."

You must have known though
That when the flame licked my cheek
I screamed for you to save me

At least I have the memory of warmth

After the ashes, you stood
Eyes glassy and heart passive
When enough became too much.

Did you think I wouldn't see?

You crafted endless excuses
Spun me a tapestry of lies
Martyred yourself for my sympathy

My heart bleeds for you...

But the water surely rises
Frigid, breathtaking
Sweet release cometh at last

And I'll miss you the most
For my family...who has done nothing but hurt and ridicule me...



Dunno if anyone's still out there, if you are, you have my eternal thanks
