You can remember sunny days

Spent on the roof of your house with him

Overlooking your small world

Just the two of you

Private and precious and yours

Eyes only for him

Hand in warm hand

Sharing gentle kisses

Holding each other so close

Now you grip his arm

Clutching for dear life

As if he could just slip thorugh your fingers

And he just might

And he will

Hard rain beating down on you

You take hold of him

Not to protect anymore

Only to hurt and hurt and hurt

The one thing you are good at

Take away his everything

The only thing he has

His whole world and sense of self

Leave only his life bare

Despite it all he slows

Takes a look at you

Holds out his hand

Says as he did all those years ago

When life was still easy and good

Before you threw it away

Lets go home

But its gone too far

You know it can never be the same

If you turned back now

Tossing everything aside

He couldnt live with that

So you let him go

As blood pools around you

Seeping out of your bruised neck

A fleeting moment

His calloused hands

Holding your face gently

You hear his wails

How he whispers your name

Broken

The rain doesnt stop

Only you slip away

From the one you hold dear

Leaving him behind to figure out

How to live with what youve left him with

The still-fresh blood on your hands

Both yours and the others

Stains now his as well

His two daughters a son crazy strangers

Passed down from one to another

Till theres no one else to pass it to

And it was never meant to be him

But you made it so

Kept him alive to carry this burden

When it became too much for you

So selfish you are

Though you do regret

Not growing old with him

Side by side

Youll never witness

The wrinkles around his eyes

When he laughs

And how it suits him

You wont be there to see it

But he wont smile either way

Missing his warmth

Seeing his stone face empty eyes gaze cold

And how you regret it

Drowning in guilt even as you cease being

Glass shards reflecting your true self

All bloodied with sharp edges

Ready to cut everyone close

Sand in your eyes

Couldnt blind you more

Than you already were by your own fault

You should feel cold now

Soaked through lying in the rain

Blood red like your love leaving you

You are warm

He holds you

And you are happy

He will never be

He wont slip away

You do

You did this

To him

His tears fall

Imitating the rain

For you both its

Game over
