Falling Off

Nothing was left as we were lying in bed. She looked in my eyes "It doesn't hurt anymore." These; the saddest words she ever said. No more tears, she doesn't care enough to cry. I begged her to love me. I begged her to lie. Now i'm on my knees in the street. Rain pouring in slow motion. Drop after drop, from my head to my feet. I see her shadow in the window. She knows the edge i walk. The needle awaits, the foundation is burning. She hands me the key, but i smash the lock. My sweet sweet poison. My blue river flow. I caress oblivion, while I wait for a vein to show. Oh... god. Now its done. 10 Years wasted. Happiness truly is a warm gun. She was my drug. My habitual partner, my junkie love. Its all dead to me now. I march in the liquid parade. I laugh at god and ask him if he needs saved. I see it now, in the failure i sow. Beautiful colors and sickness in tow. This is my horizon. My crystal lined sky shattering upon the wreckage below.
