Still Heart - Akeldama

We are one

This breath of love swells my heart to bursting

I was nothing without you, and

Now I stand complete

Your beauty brings me to my knees

And with every moment I feel more unworthy

I feel that you could slip away

In the blink of an eye

And before it seems I’ve even blinked at all

Tragedy falls upon this love

I swear I knew it was coming

But why can’t it be me?

-Now breathing stops;

I’m just choking-

Oh God, why can’t it be me?

I could never make this choice on my own

Given a thousand years I’d never find the answer

This is not my place

But as the tendrils of my mind creep into my soul -And though I’d-

It’s as if the very life-force in me -never wish for her to-

Blackens in the mind’s embrace -suffer here-

And as this darkness takes me

I can feel my heart fade -I just can’t let her-

Fade away and leave me for nothing

I have witnessed such beauty

And it’s slipping away from me

Having caught a falling star

Which now crumbles through my fingers

The quality of life has decayed

A dreary monotone wasteland remains

I know what I must do

I must play God and give her mercy

I must end the suffering

She would do the same for me

I can’t leave her here this way

But how can I go on

Living with a heart that’s been stilled?

But as the tendrils of my mind creep into my soul -And though I-

It’s as if the very life-force in me -never wished for her to —

Blackens in the mind’s embrace — suffer here-

And as this darkness takes me

I can feel my heart fade -I have now let her-

Fade away and leave me for nothing
