One Last Time

Amidst the heavy fog

Over the thin air up here

It was unbearable 

With frostbite crawling up my spine

I suffocated my way through

To save something

That I so desperately wanted to hold close

But

To save myself

Permanently letting you go

Never looking back

Was my best solution

...

Felt like the snow was up to my lungs

At first

The pain that came with the pleasure 

Was a drug 

Not the kind of joy you can look back on without a stream of tears

Gnawing at your skin

It was the second chance I gave

Hopelessly chasing after some sort of light in this blizzard

Was my own mistake

...

I should have stayed away

I should have stayed home where I had a fireplace 

I guess a part of me wanted to step out

Since this safety was pure solace

The blizzard looked more appealing than the fireplace at the time

Oh how we take things for granted 

Oh what a shame

~second chances are for people who deserve them. Worth more than gold I tell you, giving them access to stab you again, it costs your sanity and well-being.
