Dying

Your warmth floods over me
And kills me with such passionate kindness
But it is a loving death, that I never want to end
But you strike me, with that icy dagger 
Ending my joy and bringing me cold misery. 
Bringing me not back to life but not completely dead either

I lay here dying, crying an ocean of tears
I lay here weeping, because you're in my mind
I lay here thinking, looking into the distance
I lay here staring, into your ghostly eyes

Grasping into nothingness I try to hold you close
But you are not there so I fall to the ground

Was it I who turned you away?
Nay, I can not say it was because 
As a human I lay here cursing other things 
So that I can soothe my own dejected soul

I thought that our pulsing love
Had faded away into nothing
But that damned flame won't fade
Burning so persistently, it makes me sick to the stomach
Yet pain so deeply in my heart. 

I lay here dying, cursing the heavens
Cursing the four corners of the earth
Cursing the very ground I walk upon
Cursing you
Cursing my heart
Cursing my very soul

Damned be the day that I ever fell in love with you
Damned be the day that you ever proposed to me
Damned be the day that we parted
Yet...
Blessed be the day that we might wed
Blessed be the day that we might kiss 
Blessed be the day I hold you close 

I lay here dying, yet laughing at my idiocy
You have changed and probably never want me again
Yet I stay here steadfast with a heart yearning to be yours
That damned spark wants to turn into a blazing flame again

My love for you, it seems to last an eternity
You've probably moved on. 
Have you?
I dare hope not
Because I lay here dying
Waiting for my prince to help me from the ground
And wipe away my tears and breath life into me with his kiss

I lay here dying...yet...
Where art thou...
Where are thou my Romeo?
I can't lay here dying this slow death, this miserable existance
I shall taketh the dagger as did Juliet
And instead of dying
I shall be dead
Away from the pain of you.
Never to be dying in misery again.
