Love & Death

I finally began to trust again so I gave my heart away,
How was I to know that it would get torn apart again,
Love betrayed me once again and cast me to the shadows,
It seems love has skipped right over me like I am not even there,
I feel like i'm stuck within a nightmare and there is no escape,
I wish someone would wake me from my ever lasting slumber,
If I am asleep then why do I still feel pain, 
Maybe this is just my life and I am just unseen,
I feel so cold and so lonely and now i know what I must do,
If life will not accept me then I shall turn to death,
Maybe there I will be seen and will no longer be alone,
I pick up the shimmering blade and hold it in my hand,
Tears still stream right down my face and land upon the floor,
I bring the blade up to my chest and close my eyes tight,
I thrust the blade into my heart and the tears all go away,
Crimson blood pours out upon the floor as I lay awaiting death,
Finally death comes for me and everything turns black,
I am not afraid or scared at all for now I'm not alone,
I will never return to earth for this is my new home.
