Immortal by kayleigh Briston
The light sets on my heart
And I become cold
I watch the world around me rot
I hear the earth crying for help
And I feel it die
My eyes are emotionless
For I do not feel love
I only feel pain and sorrow
I am immortal
Bound to live forever
And watch those I care for die
I will live beyond their lives
I will watch the world crumble
When people don't know what to do
I am chained to this lifetime
Chained to life so unforgiving and unfair
Bound to live unless I take my own life
It makes me think
Why do I stay here?
Why do I stay in a world so painful?
I decide I will leave
And I press the long blade across my wrist
And feel the burning of my flesh
And the crimson liquid flows from the wound
This is my salvation
To sit here and watch every drop fall
To the unforgiving soil
The pain rises
And I feel hot
I see the blood beginning to stop
Yet I have not passed
Is fate trying to make me suffer?
I cut my left wrist and watch it flow
And again it heals
The fates are making me suffer
I know it
I don't want to live
But I have to
What are they trying to do?
I begin to walk the empty streets
I see a young girl sitting on the dirt filled floor
And smell the slat of her tears
I ask her what is wrong?
She says she is alone
No one here to help her liveI feel a pull in my chest
And feel myself around this girl
I allow her to follow me
I find her food and water
I keep her warm and dry
I feel myself melting at the sight of the heavenly child
Years pass and I have something to live for
I love this child like my daughter
She looks up to me
And obeys my orders
She will follow me to the end of the earth
Till she expires
I know I shouldn't have let her into my life
I don't want to see her
Beautiful face to wrinkled and old
I don't want to see the smile on her face
And hear the words I love you
I don't want to see her close her eyes for the last time
And breathe no more
I don't want to leave her lifeless body on the cold earth
Its my fault
For breaking my vow
That I wouldn't love anyone such as you
