Fireworks blaze & my vision blurs red
I let out a cough & my hands are all wet
My love letters to you litter my bed
Every murdered poem & broken sonnet
All our photos are scattered, eternal scars of my heart
Every captured hug, smile and kiss has me torn apart
My MP3 on repeat, a hundred tributes to our song
Every word you said was a lie all along
A tinge of regret, a heart full of pain
I'm succumbing to weakness and my strength is all drained
I gave my last letter, believe it all to be true
I've never once lied to someone as perfect as you
Your ring next to mine, grow dull on my stand
Not once have I removed mine, tan lines mark my hand
It just hurts me inside that I couldn't say good-bye
When you left me for good; Left me to die
A knock on my door, the music starts fading
A pull on the door, but the knob's not rotating
A voice cries in panic, "Honey, open up!"
The voice I've longed for! I try my best to stand up
My body's been weighted, by the loss of much life
Doorknob's still tittering with the same panicked cry
Have you forgotten your keys or did you toss those out too?
I'm on the ground crawling, I can't open it for you
Bangs and cracks on my door, blue & red flash my wall.
You got my last letter and believed it after all
"Honey, are you in there? Open up, it's me!"
I could barely make out as you sobbed uncontrollably
The door slams open, I hear footsteps scatter
And I see your beautiful face, and that's all that matters
"Honey," you start, "it's going to be OK"
With my last strength & breath I answer, "Baby, I still love you, but you're just too late"
I smile and wipe your tears, and close my eyes to rest
The panicked chit-chat & cries die till I hear only thumps from my chest
I'm happy knowing you cared enough to come and say good-bye
And all my pain has been released, with one last relieved sigh
