You'Re Still Here

Through manipulation and lies. I still remember when you died. Since, you left me here, I rot. Fell all over again, or so I thought. I believed the words that came out her filthy mouth. Stood the grounds alone in the streets of this hell. Flames arose all around. I feel my knees breaking like wood being chopped apart. Fast beating of my slow melting heart. My skin is becoming to char. On the ground, paralyzed from my legs. I feel my chest pumping its way out my stomach. Not only did you go away, my insides crawled to a better place. With nearly a heart keeping me alive, I start to see a light. The fires of anger and sorrow dim to a low blaze. The light beyond the distance appears to come closer. Footsteps coming towards me. I stare into what it seems to be a face. I remember those eyes. That smile I once knew. I take its hand. I stand, it was you.
