We Die Tonight Poem by Grant Lovell

Sitting in the pain, I won't forget
Leaving me with all these threats
Now, all I do is live with so much hate
So when I get away, I only kept my scars
The other me is gone
Had no reason to belong
Tear up the pieces and leave me alone
With no recourse
And remorse from the start
Happiness from the wounds
A cursed soul
Tied to a severed heart

Do you breathe?
Or are you just a dream?
I cannot maintain myself
But I can retain the pain
I cannot deny, theres no way to compelete this
I cannot lie, I don't want to defeat this
Take it all, to see what you've done
To feel that now that you're gone, without me
Numbness is all I have left
I rather feel pain
To remind me of you again
I have no shame, just scars engraved

Show me you're heart
Tell me you're desire
Feel the fire, taste the burn
Taste the degree of beauty
Cut a smile into me
Show me you're wild
Slice a trace on the wrist
Let the blood linger, to you're tendered lips
Free the dead memories
That are haunting me
While I hold you in my arms
As we die tonight
