His love for me's unknown
i am feeling so alone
hes the one i dont want to lose
but im suddenly confused
not a single day goes by
that i dont remember how i
messed things up and brought us shame
now hes suffering in pain
and he will never let me forget
the thing i did that i regret
it will never be how it was
i broke his heart all because
i didnt think about the kiss
it just goes to prove that loose lips sink ships
i learned from my mistake
i know i did wrong
now with every breath i take
i hope my death wont be too long
it will never be ok
it will never be the same
i know that i will pay
and lose again at this love game
it wont be much longer
untill im struggling alone
how is it supposed to make me stronger
when my heart is made of stone
without him i would be lost
but if thats my only cost
i would wish death upon myself
and end my life and go to hell
then wed both be in pain
and only memories will remain
in peace i will never rest
leaving here is for the best
i dont wanna hurt no more
without him theres nothing to live for.
-Spencer Coggsdale dedicated to Luis Arizpe
DEATH i seek ,
to all whos weak.
DEATH i seek
to you i speak
My one single death wish
Is to have just one last kiss
You holding me in your arms
Keeps me away from all harm
It is when you are not there
That I feel all this fear
Building up inside
But it comes as no surprise
And I know it all the same
This is real, not a game
I am always in danger
When by my unwelcomed stranger
He comes and knocks on my door
Prepared to settle a score
Between you and i
All he wants to do is make me cry
But then I run away and turn to you
To escape from all things cruel
All you do is hold me in your arms
And I am away from all harm
But I don’t see you all the time
And soon to be said no more
I am now dying
But still not crying
Because my one single death wish
Is to have just one last kiss
I've lost so much
and I just lost more
What else could I do?
You slit your wrist
It made me cry
You bled all over my heart
You asked for help
I turned the my cheek,
and now the wieght of your death is on my shoulders
You begged me to listen
And I acted like I didn't hear you
Now you're gone
I've lost so much
And I just lost more
It is my fault you're dead
I should have listened
And now the weight of your death is on my shoulders
I'm sorry
Please know that I am sorry
I will no longer turn away from someone in need
I will lend an ear when needed
I will NOT turn others away
I've lost so much
And I've just lost more
and I'm sorry
