This Is The Love That Death Provides

Rating: 5.0


The first time I saw him.
I thought I was dreaming.
The first time I heard him.
I swear he was screaming.

I Love you...

-

I ran out of the building.
Quick into the sun.
Finger on the trigger.
To my dear dads gun.

Tears blinded my way.
As I crashed to the ground.
A broken heart beside me.
But no one around.

And just as I turned the safety off.
And put the gun right to my head.
A younge man sat down and whispered.
'Why you so desperate to be dead'

'Why do you care your not me
You cant understand the desire to die'
But he shook his head with a sad little smile.
Then he quietly gave his reply.

'Just before I found you here
I was going to jump that cliff'
'Just before I saw that gun
I was going to slice my wrists'

' Than tell me this why continue
If this is all life will provide'
' Life is more than this and that
But continue so I won`t die'

' I don`t know if I trust you
Not to cause me any pain
If you hurt me you`ll regret it
and prove your all the same'

' If I hurt you it will kill me
so you`ll have nothing left to fear
if its falling your afraid of
don`t worry `cause i`m here'

' I`m not afraid of falling
It`s what I do not understand
How can I trust a stranger
Not to be a one night stand'

' If we`re here for love
That we couldnt keep
The kind of love
That made us weak
Then were not so different
were quite alike
Both left broken
from love that was like'

' What was the name of the girl
you lost?
The girl who left you with the ultimate
cost? '

' She wasn`t you thats all you
need to know
She was the type of girl you love
to let go'

' The guy who hurt me
promised he didnt mean to
it was a drunken party
with slurred I love you`s'

' You deserve better
than that party boy
If I was your world
you wouldnt be a toy'

' Than be my world
and save me from myself
take away the ironies
and my guilt ridden doubts'

' It will be my pleasure
my precious little love
I`ll wrap my wings around you
and fly you to above'

' But you don`t have any wings
to carry us there'
' You can`t see them
For it`s the arms of my care'

' A metaphor for angels
seems to fit you perfectly'
' But a metaphor for heaven
Would suit you beautifully'

And than he kissed me.
With lips of golden sun.
Grasping in my hand.
My dear dads gun.

The first time I saw her.
I thought I was dreaming.
The first time I heard her.
I swear she was screaming.

I Love you...
