Time to let go
Now
Beautiful lover
The bleeding ritual
Has begun

I loved you in the quiet of a thousand screams
In the space between breaths, in the wreckage of our dreams
Your name, your face, a blade that cuts too deep
A wound that wakes me when I sleep
(I did this to myself
And till this day I can't heal)

I just wished you left a scar on my flesh
A bruise, a burn, some kind of sketch
So I would carry you
With me into the night
proof that you were real
A visible echo of all that I feel

It's time to let you go
Now
Beautiful soul
The bleeding ritual is
Almost over

I should've fought harder, held tight to the flame
For the life we'd imagined, now buried in shame
I drowned in my sorrow, let fear pull me low
Till the numbness took over, and I let you go



The time of regret
Is now
no mark upon my skin
So I bleed you out from deep within
