Should I Leave Before You
When I gave you my heart, my life,
I bet never
In your darkest fears
Or wildest worries did you ever
See this coming,
This that eats away my flesh
And inhibits me from fashioning
The smiles I used to fashion
Incessantly.
And this that eats away my flesh
Wastes you, too, away,
Your time, your health,
Your patience.
While this that eats away my flesh
May hinder me from keeping
The forever I promised,
Though my breath will cease
And the flesh dissolve,
My heart shall safely be tucked with yours
