I have no more tears left for you

You wasted away all that we knew

 

I’ll never forget that very first night

You drove that silver spike straight through my sight

Should have known it then, blind’s an easier choice

Your thumb plunged the venom that nulled all rejoice

 

We once touched the rain

Now filled with pain

You drive me insane

Every time you infect your vain

 

You were once the world’s illumination

Now a dull sunken skull mirrors your reflection

You always said, one day you’d fly

Now I can’t look you in your eye

 

You called him Marius

I knew he was quietus

The only friend to treat you right

Knew not to tie the tourniquet too tight

 

We never had any money

All you had to sell was your body

Violated all moral boundaries of sanity

You are all I know of sanctity

 

If I left, you wouldn’t follow

You’ve been consumed by the hollow

I don’t know what gave you that shove

Just that fast I lost all that I love

 

Life without you is death

Not worth a single breath

I’ll continue living our lie

It would be easier if I die

 

A Note from the author:

I wrote We Once Touched the Rain about a man that fights against his girlfriend's drug addiction for the love of his girlfriend - but the drugs are winning.
