So I Left You
I loved the way you caressed me
The way you'd say my name
As cool dawn light spilled across
Our warm, rumpled bed
I adored making love to you
Hearing your sounds of pleasure
Now all I hear is the blade
As it taps against the mirror
And the coughs of inhaled powder.
Your hands shake
Your lips turn blue
I couldn't watch
So I left you
I heard from your friend
That you'd died
With this coming dawn
You'd try to clean up your act
You'd disappeared from everything
No one could find you
I missed those sounds, your voice
And the coughs of inhaled powder
Your hands shake
Your lips turn blue
I couldn't watch
So I left you
I remember the way you'd lay
So still beside me, eyes closed
Soft rise and fall of your chest
My only proof of life
Your whimpers and twitches
As you drifted in your hazed dreams
Dreams haunted with mirrors, blades,
And the coughs of inhaled powder
Your hands shake
Your lips turn blue
I couldn't watch
So I left you
