Gone For Good

Shards of glass
Litter the ground
Broken beyond repair
Like the pieces of my heart

My hands drip with warm blood
as I try to save his life
Stop the bleeding, keep the heart beating
If I can fix him, I'll be fixed

He's my one and only
I can't live without him
But he can't live
With this bullet in his gut

"Stay with me!" I scream
As I grasp his hand
"Don't leave me..." I whisper
As I kiss his cheek

Blood pools around us
As the door is kicked in
I'm dragged away screaming
For them not to hurt him more

"I'm the one you want!" I lie
As they pull me away
I know I can't save him,
But I can go out with him

His killers must be pushed
To the edge, ready to kill
I lash out and scream
Hateful words, wanting to die

The just smile at me
As they fill my love with bullets
They empty his body of life
All while crushing my heart

I cry and scream
Unable to hold on
As they take their leave
They drop their guns and smile

I crawl, shaking to where he lay
I press my lips on his once more
I reach for a gun and put it to my head
I take one last look around and pull the trigger

Only to hear the click
The bastards left me with no way out...
I cling to him crying, refusing to let go
Sirens are wailing and lights are flashing

Making this scene all the more tragic
Cops run in, guns at the ready
They see one lifeless form,
And one barely hanging on to sanity

Soft voices try to coax me away
But I cling to his broken body
Unable to leave him alone
Strong hands pick me up and pull me away

A soothing voice speaks kind words
As I'm carried away
Nothing registers except that he's gone
Gone forever, never to return

Never to love me, never to fight me
He's never going to tease me again
He won't be able to protect me
Or keep me warm on cold nights

He's gone for good
My tears come even stronger
Refusing to be stopped
When I notice I'm at the station

Covered with blood and cuts
No one seems to be watching me
So I stand and escape the dreary building
Into the cool night air

I stagger to a river,
Unable to go on
I feel the air caress me,
As if he's here one last time

I take one last breath,
Walking into the icy waters
And think of only my love
As I descend into the sea
