I Will Always Love You

My love for you has hurt me
oh, all the things I thought we'd be

Tell me, why were you so afraid?
Forced to watch as my heart decayed.

I waited for any word you'd send
did I wait in vain in the end?

My heart will not move anymore
locked inside your top dresser drawer.

You made a killer of your fear
but still I love you, my dear.

And when this has finally killed me
I shall slip beneath the sea.

Deep.. Heartbreak could be the worst pain a human may face.. But to a poet.. it can become even more painful as blood drips down your quill
