Leaving
Why'd I live
When you died
You were going places
When I stopped
Manipulating smiles
Tears on my cheeks
Your betraying innocence
Kills me
Let me join you
Stop pushing me down
Your invisible hand on my shoulder
Gripping ever tighter
Scars mark
your otherwise perfect face
Dauntingly tall
You had to end it all
You lied till the end
Covering it up with your laughter
I fell for your tricks
And I was happy
You looked so normal
Lying there in a white room
Uncomfortably pale
But so real that I touched your arm to feel your warmth
Please don't leave me
I can barely remember your voice
Your looks
Even though I just saw you
