He Loved Her...

Can't speak yet she hasn't forgotten how to think Can't feel yet she still knows what is real Cornered she just cowers Tallying the hours until she's free Struggling in darkness to find the key's grace That will relieve her from this suffocating embrace

She's almost dead, you see? He couldn't say "I love you" enough But his kisses were always rigid And his hugs were always rough

Pinned to the floor She couldn't tell which way was up anymore Nearly empty, he still ran with her cup and proceeded to pour For she was only alive the moment they met He just took a snapshot Then quickly forgot it wasn't him She was only ever an object to absorb If it meant she never left him, he'd proudly steal her last breath He loved her, you see, nearly to death...
