5 shots

Look back
I am not fine
Come back
Hear in my voice
I am dying
It was not my choice

High walls of black
Fears dwell like steel on sharp feathers
But the whisper never comes back

Look back at me
Come back, I am sorry
Look at me once
I am so sorry, forgive me
I beg for one glance
Please, save me

That was not your life, but mine
In this darkness I was lost for so long
You were always my light
A spark of hope
My love, my home

Before I fell in the deepest shadows
I’d never meant to hurt you
If I were myself that night in cursed halls
Where I died with the final fifth shot
Before I fell into oblivion of my crimson truth

Forgive me, please
Let me heal your soul
Forgive me, forgive me
You are forever my only home
My love and the only one
Even in that oblivion
I wish I could stop the first damn shot
