Endearments for Carrion

Hold on to me tight and never let go

I knew it was real, you told me so

Something so true we let be tainted

Love was precious, purity violated

I never deserved to be so entangled

As if I ever knew what we were doing

With no expectation of being strangled

Or for the chaos ensuing

I tried to hold on as hard as I could

Despite all of our strings fraying

In the end, all of my effort no good

I guess even love isn't safe from decaying

How could our hope succumb to such rot

But throughout decomposing I kept my grip

We were everything for each other and not

I still saw the way thru as meat began to slip

I could see past the end and held steadfast

To our flesh as it would slide from the skin

There was nothing my love for you can't outlast

Except for time and patience torn thin

It never mattered, I'd pick up any pieces

The more i held on, the more it all come undone

Hope that for hoping would calm the uneases

Nuture for necrosis, because we were one

I didn't care, I'd command our cohesion

As long as we had each other, every other thing would fall into its place

That we would see this to the end, through to completion.

And we'd do it together, as one, and the joy wrote on our face...

I can't love a corpse back from the dead

So blinded by love, i see nothing, no way ahead

Cognitive dissonance, i knew you were perfect

And in my keeping your heart, plague with curses

I tried so fucking hard, i swear to god i really tried

To stay as one with you, I'm inherently flawed

When i became my mistakes is when the strings come untied

Doesn't matter now, I'm too pitiful distraught...

The life i had worked for is just a dream and a broken future now

I love you for always and forever and deserve what we got

I hoped and put forth every ounce that hope could allow

I was yours and you were mine, we were us and now we're not...😢😢😭😭😭
