On a Broken Edge

If only I had one wish, I'd wear the smile you gave me
Would a dime or my life be enough for your profit?
Why should I be the rain that poured? (I met the worst of me)
Stains on my knees as I begged more (please close your eyes and)

Suffocate me with your absence
As I wept on your floor, your floor (your floor)
Senses fail as veins collapse
Under expectations, expectations

I'll see you there, across the shore
Swim as far as you can before
You're out of breath, you're chasing death
You're on her tail

You're on her tail, biting at a grim chance to take her place
With a smirk or a grin, finding the words
The words to say to a whining widow avert your gaze
It's all your fault

As the ice breaks
You're too lifeless but hopeful
That you'll ever, you'll never see my eyes again
