Baby,
you were my light
and I was yours.
Shining bright,
lighting the way,
wherever we got lost.

Thought,
we were in love
and believed,
we could be forever.
My naive soul
never wanted to believe,
it could be over one day.

And then the horror came
to our shores.
Our souls were bleeding,
when we saw the mess,
we created.
Two people with a broken heart
couldn't be the light for each other.
But we didn't want to believe.

We thought,
we could make it.
But rain fell onto the ground
like tears ran down our faces
and drowned everything we had.

So believe me,
I liked you more than I could ever explain,
but I can still feel the salty taste on my tongue
from all the tears I cried.
I can feel the aching all over my body and soul
from the nights I stayed awake for you.
I can hear the noise from
all my screams,
too loud.

And I never wanted to hurt you like that,
when I said that it is over.
But I couldn't hold the pain back anymore,
I was crawling on my knees,
while I thought,
this was the love I needed.

And I will never understand,
how people can love that hard,
but only hurt each other.
Please tell me,
why did we need to be obsessed,
when we could have had love?

This will be my last words for you
and I want you to know
that they are written in peace.
But it's over.
Because no matter,
how often we tried to save the day,
how often we gave us a second chance,
how often we stood up from the mess we created:
It was never enough.
