Bitten By September
Forbidden to remember
Terrified to forget
She is bitten by September
As the rising sun sets
He sinks his teeth into her cold, lifeless flesh
As what is almost breaking is her very last breath
The agonizing fire courses angrily through her veins
She would do most anything to stop it, the anguish and the pain
She pleads for her death
They hear it in her cries
What has she ever done for this life to be lead?
The bitter truth and the bitter lies
Her steaming red blood is staining the floor
She struggles to keep her eyes even more
She tries to survive, she tries to be okay
But she won't be alive come the next day
The reason as why she is holding on is fading
The darkness is pulling her under, an undeniable waiting
Her fears don't consume her, it's the fire that is killing
She assumed that she was, but she truly wasn't willing
She thought she was stronger
She thought her heart could take it
But it won't be much longer
No, she is afraid she won't make it
Crimson red matters her hair
And what she cries out is a sin
All the others can do is stare
As she fights a battle she will most likely not win
Her breathing turns shallow
Her heart beat decreases
Her eyes are now hallow
Her heart beat seizes
