Still Whispers Her Name

Pain, my enemy and my closest friend please I beg of you, spare me your presence this day Please I'm tired and lost the will to fight you off any longer Please; just hold me tightly, comfort me if you will so I can feel the warmth of a touch fill a void, well at least temporarily Can you answer a question for me Why do I torture myself like this why do I subject myself with prying eyes to watch her, Penelope, enjoy life with a tremendous smile while mine is swinging on a grandfather clock attempting to buy time Everything she's shared with me, all we've been through won't fade from me, I refuse to lose it How did I fall for her complicated splendor maybe it was all in her eyes or maybe she caught me by surprise Just..how can it be over after everything I told her What do I hold now since she's forbidden from my presence The thing that still beats her name softly like a whisper calls to fight for her, calls to spin her around and kiss her yet I'm too inexperienced, too much of a coward so I let it all implode while I'm a neutron star on the outside She's all I cared about. my dear Penelope but I pick up a leaf no significance, just for some peace just to have something to rip and tear apart Watch and be amazed I'm the human paper boy being ripped and torn apart to resemble a dying man resting on the bottom of the ocean
