Still Until

All those passing souls I loved until...

Chances are I love you still

Even if your remaining existence

slowly escapes via salty tears

Such troubled years

bottled liquid fears

Those bruises, fractures, and breaks are still here

Keeping me alive while onyx time flies

I love you still

Even if that means I need to hold on until

My mind can stop racing

These blades can stop tracing

The tattered skin that I'm known to walk in

At least these tears are looking clearer now

That dark red is played out

Though I need to bow out

I still don't want you to fall down

If I loved you then, I love you still

Just, from over here now
