Sever All Ties

When you shouldn't hang on to that dead limb

Dead End

Love and life never suited me well until I felt an awakening in my heart;

I would save my last, cold breath to say how much you have brought me warmth;

Sound and soulful, you have been all I have longed for, but do not deserve your hand;

All and any moment is a struggle not to say, "No one could love you like I can."

My stomach twists in knots knowing I can't hold onto you where you lie;

All may be for naught as this will only be a futile attempt bounding me to only crash;

Counting each moment my heart stops from each smile and gaze of your eyes;

However, I feel I must sever these ideas of anything more and simply burn them to ash.
