how many times
can you drink of that poison
before your soul will die?
how many times
have you chosen to suffer
and i have remained at your side?
how can we ever
repair this division
when i never wanted to part?
how could you choose
to betray my devotion?
a mark of your withering heart
accept the pain that you have wrought
your violent design
no demon has possessed your form
the shell in which you hide
addiction guides your weary hand
to plunge into the sea
but resurrection never comes
without divine decree
bitter and brief,
the embrace of a traitor
i was a fool
to believe you my savior
somehow i know
you are never coming back
o, dear sister
i shall mourn you
o, dear sister
please come back
