Forever In a Moment

forever in a moment
as i wish i could hold her still
my life flashes before my eyes
as i watched her get killed

her blood stains my hands guilty
place your blame on my soul
for if it were not for me
she would still be with you

that silent moment
only some experience
when the world that had broken them
spits on their very existence

what would i give to see her face
what would i give for only one last taste
of a life so beautiful so blissfully mine
that this world just couldnt handle a love so divine

forever falling through a life of empty promise
knowing that all i thought was real would fade to blackened nothing
the love my heart longs and hopes and prays to feel
forever gone now, replaced by cold and lonely bitterness

each story another half hearted breath
a chance to rise again into the glory that i left
my darkest dream no compare
to the awful nightmare of this reality

everything you hoped you knew
all the things we said we'd do
ended up being nothing more
than the lies from the chalkboard

the empty breaths that no longer sustain me
forever hoping to see thru this insanity
hoping without any faith
that this will be gone when i open my eyes in the morning

can you still hear me?
see me from the dark place you are in?
if i screamed with every fiber of my being
would you even be able to hear me weeping?

am i getting through to you?
cuz if i am i just wanted you to know
that i still miss you
i can barely live with the sorrow

forever in a moment, hearts grown cold and dim
every waking moment spent trying to gain
wishing that i could find my love
constant reminders driving me insane

were it only but a moment
maybe i would have survived
but you know what they say about this life
no one gets out of it alive
