i wonder
                           if you feel a drop
                      of pain's venom
                              in the deepest core of your soul

                            if you feel remorse
                                   for killing
                                a soul that was barely alive
                        yet struggling to survive

                   i am basking on the rain of tears
                                  i wonder if rain is crying 
                             for my death
                             as it keeps me wet
                       perhaps for life to be possible
                                 but what if it floods?

                         we have been each other's covers, once
                                 on our bed
                             tears we shed, and shared
                             today is another day of your life
                         but not
                                for me

                             perhaps yesterday
                      thou had to kill me
                                 so that thou may live
                             on love i want to believe
                         but we no longer weave
                             what we once cherished

                       faded hopes of robbed youth
                       innocence in the darkness
