Fingertips Of Existence

A pattern of footsteps
A repeated saying
 
A sign of familiarity
A glimpse of humanity
 
She’s in there somewhere
Beneath those cold dark eyes
Her frozen skin whitened by long periods of no feeling
 
She’s alone
She’s scared
You like to think  
 
You try convincing yourself
She’s the girl you knew before
 
It makes you feel better
To think she will spare you
To think she’ll remember you
To think she won’t kill you
And to think shell care
 
The heart may of beaten once
The air taken through her body to survive
 
But there’s nothing left
Nothing worth saving
 
She comes closer
Faking  an expression
She opens her mouth saying nothing
 
Bloody hands
Teared clothes
She doesn’t notice
Your pain and confusion
 
But you see her beautiful selfishness
Still In love with what was
 
It wasn’t your duty to save her
It was hers
 
Choices led to consequences of darkened desires in the midnight
 
Along with repulsiveness and stolen personality  
 
 
Bravery and stupidity make you stay
But knowledge and strength make you run
 
A pattern of footsteps
A repeated saying
 
You see her for the last time
She’s not coming back
 
She didn’t come here for you
 
You thought you knew
You never did
Let her go
