Every time you speak of the future
We’re to share
You forget to say we
But continue
To say
I.

I would drown myself,
If I knew,
That it would eliminate you.
I would drown myself,
Even if,
I would regret it.
Maybe for once I’d be in peace.
With you, out of my head.
I’m only sane if I don’t sleep,
Because that’s where you creep.
Sleepless nights,
Wakeful days,
I must remain this way.
I would drown myself,
If I was sure,
That it would make me pure.
I would drown myself,
If I was certain,
That you would finally leave me alone.
Long ago, in a lost dream,
I saw myself dying.
The look of surprise and pain crossed my face;
(The blade went down.)
It punctured my heart.
All the lies that you told me,
at that moment seemed so trivial.
All the hurt that you had done to me,
at that moment was all forgotten.
(The blade came down harder.)
It reached my lonely soul,
My screams of agony diffused with your own.
This death so slowly;
It hurts me even more.
Why did my love have to eliminate my soul?
All of my tender, love, care; caused this killer
to leave me bare.
(The blade comes down, once more.)
Farewell, to this tormented love.

We crowded around the mirror
Painting our lips sinful red
We got drunk on Bailey’s
Because we were young and dumb
With Red Hot Chili Peppers on repeat
We daydreamed of Hollywood
And all the things we would become
Model, actress, triple threat superstar
Even then a part of me knew
That all our dreams would only remain
Dreams
Something to sigh over when we were older
But then I left for Hollywood
Without you
I was too old for frivolous dreams
And didn’t try to become
Any of those things I wished I could be
All those things we were certain we
could achieve
When they told me that you died
I already knew why before being told
All I asked was, “How?”
Because even at seventeen your gaze
Held a brokenness to it
That gave me insight into your future
I just wish that my intuition had been wrong
That I could be walking the Walk of Fame with you
Bathing in the waters of the Pacific Ocean together
Getting drunk in Griffith Park
Falling in love with movie stars
Although I’m often tempted to join you
I feel the burden of having to live
For the both of us
Striving to live and love
Like you can no longer do
Even if sometimes, I wish I could let go
Because living without you has become
A punishment I always wished I didn’t have to endure.
