Beyond

Sometimes I'm amazed by the things you seem to do
Setting these traps up so elegantly
Effortlessly baiting me to fall in once again every single one

While I'm still awake you're barely breathing
Hope to inhale your last breath as it escapes
Your fragile frame dressed up and anxious
To finally see what's beyond the veil

Sometimes I'm amazed by the way you seem to do this
Holding your breath as you take everything in
Every sensation of every trauma
At least the ones you seem to remind me of

And I'm still awake your mind is fleeting
I want to watch you as your skin grows pale
Your broken body as it feels damaged beyond repair
You finally see the parts I never wanted to show

I'm growing tired, chest is heaving
Stare into my eyes to see the mess you've made
And my sickly shape lost to your newest game
A final gasp "please don't leave me"
As you gaze from beyond the door's frame.
