Last Touch

Amethyst

I need to break from my chains

From all that binds me down

The suffered self, the sorrowed pain

I need a knife to cut me free

From these chains that tie me down



I'm cursed for all eternity

By this scar inside my heart

The pain will never disappear

The guilt will never part



I held you close, close to me

And faced my fears to pass them through

My bitterness long forgotten

I let my truth and beauty show



You backed away in terror

Your smile now fading fast

You cried out in distress

As I slashed you with the blade



Your heart no longer beating

Your lips no longer prayed

I touched your blood with my fingertips

I Smiled, and closed my eyes



No longer felt your innocence

I no longer heard your lies

I withdrew all my anger

Turned, and backed away

I looked back... calling your name

(It was the time for our last touch)
