Whispers of Your Death


Begging from the floor
As you stare in the face of starvation
Sacrifice myself to secure your safety

I choked on the taste of tears
Til both of my eyes ran dry
Refusing to believe false prophets
That claimed you would not survive

It's hard to breathe without you sleeping on my chest
Sick and withering from the whispers of your death
Forever your savior, as much as you are mine
And for that I promise to protect you
Until the day I die
