To my hero

[killmealready]

Life is slowly leaving me
With tears and anguish
Like I’ve been left many times before
But I will not have my hero in this chapter
For he died in the last
And with him went my strength
With him went my power
With him went my reason to live

I know I may be standing here…
Living and breathing
But inside I’m as dead as a corpse
Yet my eyes will still shine
And my face will still smile
It’s up to you to see any more

I’m done standing tall when…
All my joy is being drained away
And I’m just left with memories
Back to the days when I once laughed
Back to the days when I once cried

I called you my Shining Star
If I looked up at the night sky
Would you guide me to safety?
Would you lead me through the storm?
Would you shine brighter than ever to save me?

I’d give my life for you
And the day you die is the die I die too…
