Morbid Eyes

WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME?
You have betrayed me.
I WILL NOT PLAY YOUR GAME!
With this pain I'm driven insane.
Sometimes I think that losing you was my greatest fear,
Then I embrace the darkness with a crimson tear.
All through the night my body is getting colder.
The cuts on my wrists are sinking deeper.
My morning only arrives so I can get a hold of her.
(Turn away as the loneliness feeds on my soul...)
Whoa-ah-oh.
LET'S GO!
I am cursed with awkward shyness.
I express our love through the setting silence.
With these Morbid Eyes I leave the past behind me.
WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME?
You have betrayed me.
I WILL NOT PLAY YOUR GAME!
With this pain I'm driven insane.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?
Warmness has forsaken me.
Just when I thought that seeing you in my was all that mattered,
You walk out and hopes and dreams are shattered.
Every night we're getting closer.
False feelings of love through the burning ember.
Dawn will arrive and I'll get a hold of her.
(Turn away as the loneliness feeds on my soul...)
Whoa-ah-oh.
LET'S GO!
I am cursed with awkward shyness.
I express our love through the setting silence.
With these Morbid Eyes I leave the past behind me.
DON'T TALK ABOUT WHAT SHE'S DONE TO ME!
I fear she might hear you.
LONELY HEARTS AND BROKEN FAME!
Just a kiss of emotional shame.
MISTAKEN LOVE FOR APATHY!
I will always care, she's who I've chosen.
I will always be there, my feelings have yet to be proven.
Whoa-ah-oh.
LET'S GO!
I am cursed with awkward shyness.
I express our love through the setting silence.
With these Morbid Eyes I leave the past behind me.
THIS IS LOVE'S CURSE!
WITH MY MORBID EYES I LEAVE IT BEHIND ME!
I LEAVE YOU BEHIND...

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.
