When I Fail
Know my intentions
When i lose
Feel my emotions
I watch as the fire erupts quick
Such flames never amiss
As the smoke rises
And the people try to stop it
As it consumes
I hold you dearly
Just as the fog becomes endearing
I feel my lungs shutting down slowly
As your breath seems shallow and holy
When i fail
Know i wanted to help you
When i lose
I wanted what's best for you
When i’m gone
This path seems implosive
As i know
As you know I’m closed in
Tighter in my arms i hold you
As you look out at the world consumed
There's clear fear in your mind now
But i am here as everything slows down
As your head falls on my shoulder
And you whisper the words that crush like boulders
My love, i thought we grow older
When i fail
Know that i loved you
When i lose
Hear my heart beating true
When we’re gone
As the fire grows too
As you know
As i know our time is through
