Your Slow Decay

You’re beautiful
I watch you from my window
I stare out
See you dancing among the contagious flowers of slow decay
The grounds grim secret
The most amazing land mines you have ever seen

You’re Fading
I scream out to you
Just to try and catch up
I’ll stay at a distance
For this is dangerous as I’ve witness so many times before
I stand my ground and watch as my heart is breaking and you’re being led astray

You’re good as gone
You make me feel that way too
I find you unconscious or dead
But I’ll lie down beside you
As I promised to be there till the end
Stare into oblivion
Wish I could tell you what I never said
Help you from your sorry state
Or have been there to stop you
