For You I Died

[Lady Phoenix]

I have been waiting
For such a long long time
To hear the words you speak.
Words lacking in emotion
As if you didn't care.
Does this hurt you at all?

An angry look on your face
But I've done nothing wrong
At least that is what I thought...
But you calmly tell me
The love is gone
Dead to your heart.

My world has crashed.
Light fell into darkness.
You want to take everything away
You want to tear my world from me.
Please don't, I can't...
I have no meaning without them

They would have been my reason to keep going
My reason to not give up.
But you want to destroy me.
The world is bleak.
The sands of time fall.
It won't be long before the last grain has dropped.

The water calls to me.
The medicine screams to me...
The blade seduces me...
Which will win?
One of them will...
And for you I will die...

To be honest, when I first read this I thought it was a bit of a mess. But after reading it over again, I actually love it. What threw me off the first time was the third paragraph. It does not seem to have the same rhythm the other lines do. It was the only paragraph that seemed to lack word choice and effort. Otherwise, I think this was fantastic.

Favorite line:

The sands of time fall.
It won't be long before the last grain has dropped.
