The Dying Heart

I wish sun never set And day never ended And I was still committing my sin. I wish, I still bled And still felt tormented But numbness is settling in. Ignoring the pain is becoming so easy Freezing sences is like a game. I'd rather break down, I'd rather stop breathing For the chance to relight this flame. The fire in me is slowly dying Giving way to the cold instead. I wish, I still burnt and still kept on trying But my senses are hopelessly dead. I lay down my sword...No longer deluded One day we were destined to part. Forever forsaken, forever excluded From your life is my dying heart.
