A Broken Farewell

Take a dagger to my heart
And let me die with grace.
Don't let me wake from a murderous sleep.
Just take me away from this place.
Let my love for you slowly burn away...
Let the fear of the unknown disappear.
Bury me in the deepest grave,
And keep me from the world.
Remember that i loved with all my heart,
And in the end... it tore me apart.
