Maybe, You're a Ghost

The falling ocean breaks upon my face.
It took no time to realize the components of my mistake.
When I lost the sense of beauty in this act...
In years, the tears have washed away the blood that was to be our own.

The weight of it all has brought me to my knees.
The fire I once saw in me long ago gave way to disease.
I've let these waves crash down on me for too long.
Tonight, I'll finally finish my pact, sprawled out upon your epitaph.

Who needs an anchor with a heart this heavy?

Forever engraved is the night that you said was our last,
and we fell into each other.
Out on the mere, we'd unrestrain ourselves at last,
through our promises.
Under stars shone the fateful blade held within your grasp,
as silver turned red and you calmly tightened your grip on my hand.
As you faded into a lovely crimson and pallor,
my heart collapsed...
and I watched you fade.
